Reyburn CyberTuner, the pro piano technician's gold standard tuning software for over 30 years. Continuously refined through three decades of professional feedback from master piano technicians.
This is a professional piano technicians' tuning tool. We expect users to already know piano tuning basics and have their own tuning equipment.
What makes Reyburn CyberTuner for iOS (or "iRCT") superior to other tuning software? Ease of use. Clarity of functions. Intuitive and thoughtful design and programming by a Registered Piano Technician (RPT) member of the PTG with years of concert tuning and prep experience as well as "in the trenches" home tunings and repairs. Built on the collective knowledge of scores of RPTs. Flexibility to tune the way you want with unbelievable accuracy. Support by the creator, by either personal email (international) or toll-free phone (in the US & Canada) for registered users. Email listserv support is free for registered CyberTuner users.
• Concert Tune mode combines the best of Fine Tune and Smart Tune, customized for 7 foot (210cm) and 9 foot (275cm) concert instruments.
• Aural Tutor expert system analyzes your aural tuning and suggests intervals and check notes for improving your aural skills.
• Extraordinarily accurate and fast pitch correction with iRCT's Smart Tune and Pitch Raise modes. These modes use a US Patented expert system to individually predict every note on the piano.
• iRCT creates aural-quality tunings by directly matching sampled partials, just as concert aural tuners do.
• iRCT accommodates all experience levels, giving beginning tuners a very simple interface, but offers advanced tuners customizable stretch choices.
• iRCT is an "expert system" which automatically senses and compensates for short scaling in spinets, small grands, etc.
• iRCT creates musical tunings from low bass to high treble because accurate multi-partial samples (to .01¢) are taken across a wide array of sample notes (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6).
• Fast, high-resolution spinner provides unsurpassed stability and unisons.
• New: Apple Metal graphics framework for improved battery life and responsiveness.
• New: CyberAssist built-in tech support provides instant answers 24/7.
• New: iCloud Sync with merge files feature keeps your files safe.
• New: CyberEar AI Mode creates tunings which challenge even the best aural tuners.
• Occasional internet connection (approximately once a month) required to calibrate A440.
An iRCT license includes Standard Mode (ability to tune a 13 note temperament from A3 to A4) plus a FREE one (1) year subscription to CyberCare which upgrades the mode to Premium (tune 88 notes). Also included with a CyberCare subscription are free upgrades to any new iRCT features, CyberCloud calibration, and support. See "In-App Purchases" for CyberCare price in local currency. If your CyberCare Subscription lapses, iRCT will continue to function in original Standard mode.
In subsequent years CyberCare one year subscriptions may be purchased in-app with automatic renewal option:
• Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period.
• Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period.
• Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase.
The iRCT software includes a single user license. iRCT may be used to tune pianos (or any keyboard instrument) on only one iOS device at a time, but may be installed on multiple iOS devices.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE EULA TERMS, DO NOT PURCHASE A CYBERTUNER LICENSE.

FINALLY--string section/break parameters are saved for each tuning record (right in the tuning file) and are recalled and entered automatically each time a tuning is selected in Smart Tune mode (and Pitch Raise also). Piano tuning is tedious enough ☺️ iRCT is a remarkable product in so many ways, and I sure don't miss the old Pocket PC/Pocket RCT, or Sanderson Accutuner, for that matter. But the CyberCare subscription for $80 every year may be debatable, especially given the $1,000 original purchase price and the limited number of updates and feature additions. Besides, just how many truly useful features can even be added to specialized software like this over time, or routine software maintenance, for that matter?
Indispensable!

I am a professional piano technician with 37 years experience, and started using Cybertuner almost 20 years ago-not long after Dean developed it for Macintosh. (Haha, I think I still have the floppy disk somewhere- serial number 73). I lugged my laptop to work for years so I could use RCT. With each new incarnation of the program I eagerly upgraded- with development of the Windows version I moved to a Pocket PC (which by the way I struggled with, being a Mac guy). But RCT on that device was a seamless transition. And when iRCT was announced I was overjoyed! Now my iPad mini running iRCT and FileMaker Go accompany me everywhere there is a piano, and there are a lot of them in my life. I owe much of my success to Reyburn CyberTuner. Thank you Dean!
Simply Outstanding!

I learned aural tuning 30 years ago from my dad, who tuned for the Minnesota Orchestra. Later on, we both used digital tuners made by other companies through the years. I had watched other tuners use the RCT and thought it would be good to try it someday. Some time ago a tuner friend let me borrow his iRCT to tune a fortepiano with an historic temperament. WOW! So I finally made the decision to get this App at the end of 2019. It’s the best move I’ve ever made! The precision & flexibility is just AMAZING. Pitch corrections are dead-on. My clients & I are stunned at how beautiful their pianos sound. They were really quite good before, but this is another level altogether! Thanks Reyburns!
Great program

When I started tuning a few years ago, the app was great. Now, understanding all the aspects of it, it has been the results astounding. The app easily! Pays for itself and the quality result is well worth the investment. The P12 option has allowed me to generate insanely neat results on spinets and pianos commonly thought of as “junk” - a few calculations, and voila! Even “ye olde” sounds great. Not to say, it also has helped tremendously to have sub-bass option when tuning Bosendorfer Imperials.
Resolved issue with phone call interrupting CyberEar session.
Corrected an RPT exam mode minor issue.
Fixed a registration issue.
Improved stability.
