Description

pianoscope turns your iPhone or iPad into the ultimate assistant for creating high-quality piano tunings - for professional piano tuners and passionate pianists alike.

Free two-week trial. pianoscope standard & pro are in-app purchases.


FOR PROFESSIONAL PIANO TUNERS

With the pro edition of pianoscope you can increase your precision and efficiency and make your work less tiresome. Measure the inharmonicity of an instrument at lightning speed, or accelerate the pitch raising of strongly detuned pianos. With pianoscope pro you will meet the expectations of even the most demanding pianists


HOW IS PIANOSCOPE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS?

Conventional programs determine the required stretch similar to piano tuners working aurally. They start with a temperament octave and go outward from there with fixed intervals. The disadvantage is that you, as a tuner, have to determine which intervals are suitable for the partial structure of an individual instrument.
With pianscope, you only have to decide which intervals should generally be as pure as possible and choose the appropriate style. With thousands of tests, which would be impossible for a human, the program now searches for a tuning curve that optimally meets your wishes.

FOR PASSIONATE PIANISTS

Are you annoyed that your piano soon loses its finely balanced sound after being professionally tuned? Then, with pianoscope standard and some practice, you can create high-quality tunings yourself. You don’t have to to train your hearing for years. All you need is a little manual talent and the courage to learn a new skill.

Simple to use, professional results.

I have a Kawai GS70, which is a 7.5 foot grand. I like it to be beautifully in tune, and was often frustrated that just a few notes in the 5th octave would not stay in tune and ruin my playing experience. That 5th octave is the melody line in many romantic era pieces. I know nothing about tuning a piano, and needed more of a guide than my ear to get it precise (which is essential for those three sections of string to be in perfect unison). So I got this app, and it is very easy to use. You will need some mutes and a tuning hammer and that’s it! I got the hang of it very quickly, and my piano has never sounded better. I have even even ventured into the 4th and 6th octaves and am fine tuning notes. This is all in just 2 days of the trial period! Thank you for this wonderful app. My instrument sings now and is a joy to play.

An impressive professional piano tuning app

I’m a professional piano technician. I’m extremely impressed with this app. As another reviewer mentioned, the app has a very clean and intuitive interface that is easy to use and understand. Although simple to use, it has many advanced features- such as the ability to weight specific partials and adjust many parameters of the tuning. In addition, it has many historic temperaments, far more than other piano tuning software. I really have no significant complaints or issues whatsoever and I’m excited to see this app continue to be developed.

My piano sounds great

I have used a strobe tuner in the past - that’s not directly meant for piano and had trouble with detecting higher notes in the 7th octave, also the lowest in the zero octave. This app got every single note. Plus with the temperament built in, after 6-7 hours tuning my piano, it sounds fantastic. I’m considering paying the full amount for normal usage, because I tune twice a year usually. So as long as I can keep using this for years, it’s a great price. Especially considering paying someone costs more than the $100 basic price each time.
