Murray A Short Primer on General Tuning Procedure and Theory The general concept is to get all your ducks, I mean, notes (12) evenly spaced in a row located between two walls (the octave). Tuning requires listening and comparing partials of these notes to each other to determine how evenly spaced, or not, they are. When you have accomplished the desired result, you have a temperament. Tuning all the other notes on the piano are derived from that foundational temperament. There are visually tuning devices currently on the market that can achieve remarkable results in tuning pianos Two such devices are the Sanderson Accu-Tuner and the Reyburn CyberTuner. Both were invented by aural tuners. Voila! Keith McGavern kam544@earthlink.net Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
