![]() It was so bad that it was just too painful for me to wait for him to come back and fix his mistake. ![]() Admittedly, most of us don’t play those notes that often but when they’re out of tune, you realize you play them more than you think. It was horribly sharp and the last 5 notes sounded the same. I had my piano professionally tuned 2 weeks ago but my tuner must have spaced out on the last octave. If it can do a piano this well, I imagine it would be awesome for a guitar or violin. With the paid version I can get more precise visual range and expect it will become very helpful between visits from the pro tuner. Lo and behold it worked! At least well enough to not hurt my ears until the pro can get hear and really get it dialed in. After sampling the lower and upper registers, I could visually see how the octaves were stretched and could pick a point on the +/- measurement that followed the pattern. Finally, desperate for at least a “survival” tuning to hold me until the pro can get here, I tried this app. I’m not a trained piano tech or tuner but I tried (in vain) to get that middle section at least close using the upper and lower registers as a point of reference but I just couldn’t figure it out well enough to get the temperament restored. Tuner can’t get here for another week so I just needed something to get buy. I reached a point where I just could not stand my piano due to the middle section (where the kids bang out their music) being so out of tune. Note about permissions: This app requires permission to access the microphone on your device and permission to read and write files.Liked It So Much, I Bought the Paid Version Access to all future features and enhancements Pitch raise mode that calculates overpull for an initial first pass "rough" tuning (for pianos that are extremely flat) The ability to save and load tuning files, so a piano doesn't need to be re-measured each time it is tuned Upgrading to Professional unlocks all features of the "Plus" version, plus the following: Calibrate device to an external frequency source Tune to frequency standards other than A=440 Tuning functionality for the entire piano Upgrading to "Plus" adds the following functionality: Swipe in the graphing area to show a live frequency spectrum or the inharmonicity of measured notes. ![]() Ability to measure each note on the piano to see how its current tuning compares to the ideal tuning curve (see if a piano is roughly in tune) Tuning functionality for the mid-range of the piano only The Free version includes the following functionality: ![]() The extra functionality is unlocked through one-time in-app purchases. There are three levels of functionality: a free (evaluation) version, a paid "plus" version with basic tuning functionality, and professional version with features geared towards professional piano tuners. In other words, it creates a custom tuning for your piano with the best compromise between intervals like fifths, fourths, octaves, and twelfths, the way aural piano tuners do when fine-tuning. Unlike regular chromatic tuning apps that simply tune to a pre-calculated equal temperament, this app actively measures the tonal characteristics of each note and automatically calculates the ideal "stretch" or offset from equal temperament. Easy Piano Tuner is a piano tuning app that will transform your Android device into a professional quality electronic tuning aid.
