Flugelbauer Piano Supply presents the Flugelbauer Tuning Lever.
This is a very recommended tuning lever for its versatility.
I personally use a ball handle tuning lever but this one from Flugelbauer is sort of an hybrid.
Flugelbauer build superior quality piano tuning tools. You can be 100% sure you get more for your money.
I highly recommend all the tools from Flugelbauer.
Please, describe in a few words.
Please, tell what you think.
Suppose you have just bought an excellent concert grand piano and you want it to be put in perfect tune. So you summon a first-rate piano tuner who tunes the piano by matching it to selected tuning forks. He sounds the piano and fork together and listens for beats. How long will it take the piano tuner to do a perfect tuning job? The answer is about forever. Why?
Even if you are left handed, you can still tune pianos like this gentleman here.
At the end, he gives a little demonstration about harmonizing the hammer heads.
How to become a piano tuner, the qualifications for someone interested in becoming a tuner, the lifestyle, and why many classical music composers are trained as piano tuners.
Hint: there are about a million people in the county and a tuner can tune up to four pianos a day and they should be tuned at least once a year.
Please, explain.
I didn’t mean this to be a joke. Sorry for that!
Eben Goresko presents a Temperament Recital at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2000 where he demonstrates the usefulness and artfulness of tuning modern pianos in historic intonations to augment performances of Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, Schubert, Bach, Mozart and other so called “equal temperament” composers.
Note from Mario Bruneau: did you noticed Mr. Eben Goresko uses a ball handle tuning lever? This is what I use myself and on this site, you will get video tutorials about how to use the ball handle tuning lever.
While I'm working on my complete MultiMedia piano tuning tutorials with eBooks, audios and videos, you can get this "out of print" book that I have re-vamped to 2011 standards.
You can get it for only $7 and it will give you a good starting point.
I have improved the graphics with image processing softwares and added some of my own illustrations.
I have completely re-format this book for better legibility.
