I mean a pianotuneR (as in a guy that tunes your piano) is pretty expensive.
These apps seem to be marketed as tools for professional piano tuners. And looking just at the screenshots it looks like it has a lot of tools and features outside of just showing the correct pitch.
If tuning pianos is your profession, paying 999$ once and writing it off as a business expense isn’t that far fetched.
No idea. Probably cause it’s a bit gate-keepy in the way I say “any tuner worth their salt” as if it’s the only way to achieve good results.
I haven’t met a tuner that uses anything other than forks. Maybe that’s because all the pianos I’ve worked with have been in good condition, so haven’t needed drastic measures applied. As I haven’t met a tuner that uses anything else, I can’t say if they are better/faster/whatever. I just assumed it’s the industry standard, like how orchestras tune by ear
I haven’t, but I’ve had many grand and baby grand pianos tuned after being moved onto stage, and a guy comes in and does it by ear.
I asked them why they didn’t have a stroboscopic tuner or something, and they’ve always found it easier with a couple forks and by ear

(Better be a bloody useful tool though ;) )
I’m 99% sure that a professional piano tuner would be better served with a dedicated tuning device than a $999 Android tuning app.
It’s an iPhone tuning app
well that’s different then
Im 99% sure any piano tuner worth their salt tunes by ear

Do you own a piano? Have you ever had one tuned?

We need a Foss alternative
That’s what I’m curious about, I guess we need to find someone who uses these apps or is a piano tuner that could weigh in.
