There are many excellent piano-tuning applications available (both for free and for charge). This one is designed to also demonstrate a little music theory (and physics for the ‘engineer’ in all of us). It displays and helps interpret the full audio spectra produced when striking a piano key, including its harmonics. Since it does not lock in on the primary note struck (like many other tuners do), you can tune the interval between two keys by examining the spectral regions where their harmonics should overlap in frequency. You can also clearly see (and measure) the inharmonicity driving ‘stretch’ tuning (where the spacing of real-string harmonics is not constant, but increases with higher harmonics). The tuning sequence described here effectively incorporates your piano’s specific inharmonicity directly, key by key, (and makes it visually clear why choices have to be made). You can also use a (very) simple calculated stretch if desired. Other tuner apps have pre-defined stretch curves available (or record keys and then algorithmically calculate their own). Some are much more sophisticated indeed! B) Graphical User Interface elements defined A) Complete interface.

  • Piano Manufacturing an Art and a Craft
    Nikolaus W. Schimmel Piano Manufacturing An Art and a Craft Gesa Lücker (Concert pianist and professor of piano, University for Music and Drama, Hannover) Nikolaus W. Schimmel Piano Manufacturing An Art and a Craft Since time immemorial, music has accompanied mankind. The earliest instrumentological finds date back 50,000 years. The first known musical instrument with fibers under ten sion serving as strings and a resonator is the stick zither. From this small beginning, a vast array of plucked and struck stringed instruments evolved, eventually resulting in the first stringed keyboard instruments. With the invention of the hammer harpsichord (gravi cembalo col piano e forte, “harpsichord with piano and forte”, i.e. with the capability of dynamic modulation) in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori toward the beginning of the eighteenth century, the pianoforte was born, which over the following centuries evolved into the most versitile and widely disseminated musical instrument of all time. This was possible only in the context of the high level of devel- opment of artistry and craftsmanship worldwide, particu- larly in the German-speaking part of Europe. Since 1885, the Schimmel family has belonged to a circle of German manufacturers preserving the traditional art and craft of piano building, advancing it to ever greater perfection. Today Schimmel ranks first among the resident German piano manufacturers still owned and operated by Contents the original founding family, now in its fourth generation. Schimmel pianos enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide. 09 The Fascination of the Piano This booklet, now in its completely revised and 15 The Evolution of the Piano up dated eighth edition, was first published in 1985 on The Origin of Music and Stringed Instruments the occa sion of the centennial of Wilhelm Schimmel, 18 Early Stringed Instruments – Plucked Wood Pianofortefa brik GmbH.

  • Achieving 21St Century Standards of Excellence in Tuning
    Achieving 21st Century Standards of Excellence in Tuning Midrange Piano Tuning How to pass the mandatory aural portion of the PTG RPT Tuning Exam Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin June, 2007 Introduction Piano Tuning standards have taken a Quantum leap during the past 30 years. Listen to any Pop, Jazz, Country and even some Classical recordings with piano from the 1960's or 70's and you will hear immediately how piano tuning has improved. While I have been able to put many ideas from many PTG members into practice, it has been the teachings of Owen Jorgensen RPT and Jim Coleman, Sr. RPT which have made the most difference in my work. I hope to be able to help you tune the piano in a more enlightened way through this article. The subject here is Equal Temperament (ET). I have adapted some techniques used to tune Historical Temperaments which will make your efforts easier to execute and lead to greater precision and accuracy. I will also include techniques learned from Jim Coleman involving coincident partials (explanation of the term to follow). Also included will be techniques used by PTG’s Certified Tuning Examiners (CTE) to both effect the Exam Master Tuning and to verify errors on the Exam. Understanding each of these combined Techniques will help you pass and hopefully excel not only at the Exam but in all of your professional work to follow. ET is the model used for the PTG RPT Tuning Exam. Tuning standards have advanced in recent times principally because of two forces: Electronic Tuning Devices (ETD) and the Exam itself.

  • Tuning Ancient Keyboard Instruments - a Rough Guide for Amateur Owners
    Tuning Ancient Keyboard Instruments - A Rough Guide for Amateur Owners. Piano tuning is of course a specialized and noble art, requiring considerable skill and training. So it is presumptuous for me to offer any sort of Pocket Guide. However, it needs to be recognized that old instruments (and replicas) are not as stable as modern iron-framed pianos, and few of us can afford to retain the services of a professional tuner on a frequent basis. Also, some of us may be restoring old instruments, or making new ones, and we need to do something. So, with apologies to the professionals, here is a short guide for amateurs. If you know how to set a temperament by ear, and know what that means, please read no further. But if not, a short introductory background might be useful. Some Theory We have got used to music played in (or at least based around) the major and minor scales, which are in turn descended from the ancient modes. In these, there are simple mathematical ratios between the notes of the scale, which are the basis of our perception of harmony. For example, the frequency of the note we call G is 3/2 that of the C below. This interval is a pure, or perfect fifth. When ratios are not exact, we hear ‘beats’, as the two notes come in and out of phase. For example, if we have one string tuned to A415 (cycles per second, or ‘Hertz’ and its neighbour a bit flat at A413, we will hear ‘wow-wow-wow’ beats at two per second.

  • Multiphonics of the Grand Piano – Timbral Composition and Performance with Flageolets
    Multiphonics of the Grand Piano – Timbral Composition and Performance with Flageolets Juhani VESIKKALA Written work, Composition MA Department of Classical Music Sibelius Academy / University of the Arts, Helsinki 2016 SIBELIUS-ACADEMY Abstract Kirjallinen työ Title Number of pages Multiphonics of the Grand Piano - Timbral Composition and Performance with Flageolets 86 + appendices Author(s) Term Juhani Topias VESIKKALA Spring 2016 Degree programme Study Line Sävellys ja musiikinteoria Department Klassisen musiikin osasto Abstract The aim of my study is to enable a broader knowledge and compositional use of the piano multiphonics in current music. This corpus of text will benefit pianists and composers alike, and it provides the answers to the questions "what is a piano multiphonic", "what does a multiphonic sound like," and "how to notate a multiphonic sound". New terminology will be defined and inaccuracies in existing terminology will be dealt with. The multiphonic "mode of playing" will be separated from "playing technique" and from flageolets. Moreover, multiphonics in the repertoire are compared from the aspects of composition and notation, and the portability of multiphonics to the sounds of other instruments or to other mobile playing modes of the manipulated grand piano are examined. Composers tend to use multiphonics in a different manner, making for differing notational choices. This study examines notational choices and proposes a notation suitable for most situations, and notates the most commonly produceable multiphonic chords. The existence of piano multiphonics will be verified mathematically, supported by acoustic recordings and camera measurements. In my work, the correspondence of FFT analysis and hearing will be touched on, and by virtue of audio excerpts I offer ways to improve as a listener of multiphonics.
