Tune the center string of note 2 to the tuner.There should now be one mute between the right string of note 1 and the left string of note 2, and a second mute between the left and right strings of notes 2 and 3. To get started, use the “left to right” method to tune the left and center strings of the lowest “trichord” (call it note 1).Without moving the mutes, you will be tuning three strings on three different notes. The mutes are placed only in the large spaces between the groups of 3 strings, leaving the center string of one note un-muted. The leapfrog method is faster but more complicated and takes a lot of practice to master and not get “lost” in the tuning pins. For notes in the bass section that have 2 strings use a modified “right to left” pattern, placing the mute between strings of adjacent notes. This method works for all “trichords” (notes that have 3 strings). The beauty of this method is that the pattern of moving the tuning lever from pin to pin is simple, moving down each vertical row of tuning pins, so you don’t have to spend time searching for the correct pin matching the string you’re tuning. You are now set up to begin at step 1 for the next higher note. Tune the last (right) string of the current note by ear to the other two strings. Move the mute two strings to the right so that it mutes the center and right strings of the next note.With the right string now muted, tune the center string by ear to the left string. Move the mute one string to the right so it’s in the wide space between two notes.
Tune the left string to the tuner until the strobe stops. Start by placing a wedge mute between the middle and right strings of the 3 “unison” strings.

When that first string is in tune, you move a wedge mute to free a second string, and then tune that string “by ear” to the first string. Because of this you will start by using rubber or felt wedge mutes to mute all but 1 string, which you tune with Easy Piano Tuner. However you can only tune one string at a time because you (and your tuning software) can’t listen to 2 strings at once. You will notice that most notes on the piano have 3 strings per note. Then we go back to the tenor break and tune left to the bottom of the piano. Tuning orderįor this tutorial we will start at the bottom of the tenor break (where the strings cross over each other) and tune up through the midsection to the top of the piano. The pitch adjustment gives you an added benefit of letting EPT sample all the notes for a more precisely calculated tuning in the fine tuning pass. If your piano is very out of tune (more than 10 or 15 cents flat) you should consider tuning it in two passes: a quick “rough” pass to get the piano in the ballpark, followed by a slower fine-tuning. (You can actually sample all the notes in under 2 minutes, playing each note for one second each.) Pitch adjustment I typically play 2 notes per octave, but you can do as many as you like.
Then play several notes across the range of the piano so EPT can listen to the piano and calculate a tuning curve.
Open Easy Piano Tuner and use the menu in the upper left to create a New Tuning File, which will clear out any information from previous usage. From top to bottom: felt wedge mutes, rubber wedge mutes, treble mute, papps mute Establish a tuning curve
