What is TuneLab Piano Tuner? Description of TuneLab Piano Tuner 2807 chars
Do not buy this app unless you are a professional piano technician. This is a professional tool that produces a custom piano tuning for any piano. It is part of the TuneLab line of piano tuning programs for smartphones, tablet computers and laptops that piano technicians have been using sine 2001.
Notable features:
* Capable of an accuracy to 0.02 cents.
* Measures and uses inharmonicity of the piano to construct a custom tuning.
* Provides an over-pull mode for more accurate pitch-raises.
* Can store hundreds of tuning files for individual pianos.
* Tuning files can be stored locally and in the Cloud on Dropbox.
* Provides many historical temperaments for period music.
* Switches notes automatically when you play the next note.
* Provides a strobe-like Phase Display for fine-tuning.
* Provides a versatile frequency spectrum display.
TuneLab lets you customize a tuning by sampling the inharmonicity for a few notes of the particular piano. You can choose the kind of tuning stretch you want by specifying different intervals for the bass, the treble, and the mid-range of the scale. These intervals can be octaves, 12ths, double octaves, etc. Good defaults are in place if you are not sure which settings you prefer.
After a custom tuning has been created from inharmonicity measurements you can store this tuning by name. The next time you need to tune that piano, or one very much like it, you simply load that same tuning file and start tuning. There is essentially no limit to the number of tuning files that you can store. TuneLab comes with some sample tuning files and an "Average" tuning file so you can start tuning right away without bothering to measure inharmonicity.
TuneLab covers the normal piano range from A0 to C8 (88 notes). The automatic note-switching feature makes it possible to enjoy hands-free operation. There is also easy one-touch manual note switching.
TuneLab has two different displays that are visible at the same time. One is the strobe-like Phase Display. This is a band where black squares move left or right depending on whether the note is sharp or flat. Tune the note to make the pattern stop moving. The other is the Spectrum Display. This is a graph of the frequency spectrum around the desired note that shows a peak in the audio frequency spectrum for every pitch present in the sound. The object in using this display is to tune the note until the peak in the graph is positioned at a central red line. The Spectrum Display makes it possible to do a rough pitch-raise without mutes since each string of a unison produces its own peak in the graph. Having both the Phase Display and the Spectrum Display visible at the same time gives you a more complete picture of the tuning than any single spinner-type or needle-type display.

TuneLab Piano Tuner Pros
✓ TuneLabI'll write a more detailed review soon, but after having tuned 17 pianos in the last 3 days with this app, I'm impressed. I've used this app on a PDA for some time, and have used it's major competitor for quite a long time. This programme provides tunings that match my aural style more closely than its' competitor, and is about a third the price. As they say, don't buy unless you already know what you're doing, but this seems to be great value. The only downside this far is the battery life of the iPhone. 6 weeks later and Im still impressed. The tunings sound great- very even and smooth with a nice progression of beat rates. Some of my most critical customers have commented favourably. Good unisons, technique and aural checks are still essential, but this app makes a full day of tunings much less arduous. Battery life on the iPhone has improved, and is now just enough to get through a full day. Bear in mind that I do very little browsing- that kills the battery. Overall, great product and very well priced..Version: 0
✓ A life saver - just geniusI am a professional piano/vocal entertainer and the tuner has been doing a terrible job of the piano. I persuaded the venue to let me 'fix' the grand to the way I need it and TuneLab has done a brilliant job of scaling the piano to it's correct tuning curve. It is nothing short of revolutionary! I never ever thought I'd be tuning a grand piano with an iPhone but it has tuned the piano perfectly and I am delighted. To the developers: you guys are very, very clever. Well done! My tuning is spot-on and the pins are holding. I can't wait to go in and play tonight! Now I can tune the grand as often as I need to without having to wait a full month for the tuner to return to fix the terrible job he did last time. A fantastic example of technology put to excellent use. I'm delighted..Version: 2.0
✓ TuneLab Piano Tuner Positive ReviewsTuneLab Piano Tuner Cons
✗ Needs to meet the competitionAt first I thought this was a great app, but then another piano tuning app came out that highlights some weaknesses in this one: - it can't read just any note you play. You have to tell it what note you're playing, or else play a note within a couple tones of the one it's already reading. - the pitch raise issue, as mentioned in another review. Also, it can't give a pitch raise for individual notes, you have to set the whole thing to pitch raise. - you can't easily edit the name of a saved tuning. When you go to edit it, it deletes the whole name and you have to re-type it all, which is a problem if you've included the serial number in the name. - major problems with the auto note-switching in the bass - doesn't always give a reading for the top treble. It doesn't seem to be fast enough to pick up such a short tone as the top notes often make. - the various display modes don't give synchronized readings of a pitch. They all seem to hold different opinions of if a note is in tune. - updates are rare. An okay app, but could be much better..Version: 3.0
✗ Yes it works but …Years ago, i would have rated this a 4 star. The app works, yes. The tunings are good, not great but certainly decent. But no improvements have been made in years! The app still looks like something from the seventies and most importantly, requires (Yes REQUIRES) a dropbox account for file sharing. After all these years milking for money, the author cannot be bothered to add icloud syncing (which is not difficult, being a software dev myself). I don’t always have an ipad available, being able to go between ipad and iphone is a must for me. No i don’t want bloatware dropbox on my iphone/ipad..Version: 4.5.1
