TuneLab Piano Tuner for Positive User Reviews

✓ 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..BrenJLVersion: 2.0

✓ Great app!I love this app. I used it on my iPad to tune my piano and it was dead on. That being said, it needs better graphics and the ability to zoom a bit more so you can set the iPad further away and still see everything. But overall, it's excellent..Jersey JasonVersion: 2.0

✓ Ear tuner goes Tunelab!After tuning pianos for 35 years by ear, I finally decided to try Tunelab. I have several friends in the area that use Tunelab. I have followed their tunings. I find that the tunings are very accurate and smooth. Now that I have used Tunelab for a few months, I find that I am doing better tunings than I ever have. You can detect slight changes while you are tuning that you never would be able to detect by ear. The other day I was tuning a piano that was only about 5 cents flat. I tuned the temperament area (I still tune the temperament octave first) and tuned down and came back to check the temperament. I was surprised that the temperament had already shifted a bit. I wouldn't have noticed this slight shift if I was tuning by ear. And then I would have tuned all of the treble to the out of tune temperament! This program has proved invaluable in one other way. I have two 7' grand pianos that I tune sometimes every day for several days in a row. It is very helpful to be able to see exactly how the piano is shifting day to day. I usually let it drift a bit up or down (1 cent or so) but when it shifts too much I know that I have to retune the whole piano. It would be impossible to make these exact assessments by ear. Finally, I have found Robert Scott to be very helpful in answering my questions via email. In fact, I started asking for an iPhone app a year before he made it available. He has done a wonderful job with this software. I am sure I will be using it for the rest of my career. And as I get into my 60's and 70's and start to lose my high frequency hearing, I will depend on Tunelab to help me get those high notes in tune!.SeattlePianoTunerVersion: 0

✓ Owner of California KeyboardsThis is one of the finest tuning programs on the market today. I have used this product since it first came out. It is amazing. The thought of being able to pitch raise a piano without mutes is amazing and an increadible time saver. That alone pays for it in time saved..Ed TomlinsonVersion: 0

✓ THE best piano tuning appI have been tuning pianos for over 15 years. This is by far the ONLY tuning app a pro tuner should have. Anything else doesn’t compare. The spectrum analyzer makes it easy to tune without mutes if you wish. Bravo TuneLab. Bravo!.Tommy MenesesVersion: 4.3.1

✓ In tune every timeWhat a fab apps and a fraction of the price of other similar products on the Market (ones with spinning wheels). Tune lab pro is for professional tuners like myself who are Back to back with work. It takes the stress out of the day by helping you tune perfectly every time. Learn more about tuning than you could ever dream of. I have to give this apps top marks. Happy tuning but mined your battery life on the I phone ....you'll need your charger..SpikeyPikey1Version: 0

✓ FantasticI have been using TuneLab for over 5 years now. As a piano technician and tuner I highly recommend this app. It is simple to use and accurate as well as cheaper than many of the other professional piano tuning tools and/or software available..EllhartConn8DVersion: 4.5.1

✓ Very helpful!I've been using this app for 4-5 years now. Can't imagine tuning pianos without it! Just make sure you understand it fully and know how to set it up!.88 Keys OhioVersion: 4.0

✓ Worth your moneyI've been an aural tuner for years. It took a bit to convince me to trust this, but I have to admit, my most satisfying tunings have come since using tunelab for iPhone. I'm impressed at it's comprehensiveness and simplicity. I'm also pleased how it doesn't seem to drain the battery too quickly like many other apps seem to. Be aware, this app will not improve your hammer technique, nor should you rely on it to lock in your unisons. If you are competent and confident in these areas, however, it could easily shave 20% off your typical tuning time. Be sure to read the users manual from the author's website. (I seemed to have problems viewing it in my iPhone, but read it just fine on my desktop.).Jmaurer88keysVersion: 0

✓ TuneLabTo see the numbers while tuning is a dream come real. The most useful tool I have purchased.GiffeliVersion: 2.0

✓ Awesome!As a starting piano technician I find this app the best tool for the job. Especially in relatively noisy environments the app, as run on my ipad, picks up each selected note reliably. The pitch raise function will blow your mind... It gets you to approximate concert pitch really close. The second pass will take under an hour. You will save hours guaranteed! The inharmonicity function is fantastic but it takes a while to get it right. When done properly, you will get your instrument as close to perfection as possible. Literally tonnes of harmonic resonance when stacking chords. Some unisons will still require 'tweaking' to eliminate (false-)beats especially in the double unisons. Just space them apart and make them audibly beatless. I intend to purchase an ipod touch for better portability. A prominent New Zealand expert piano technician rated this app highly, even though electronic tuning devices are traditionally regarded as inferior to tuning by ear.... I would beg to differ, having tuned dozens of pianos of various qualities. If this app does not get it sound good, through the piano out! highly recommended! Well worth your money..Egbert hofmanVersion: 3.2

✓ This works greatPerfect for pressure tunings. It's one thing to tune with no time constaints however in a concert you do not have that luxury. My tunings are now very consistent. I have never been able to get readings on the bass and treble before. This has improved my tuning. This has eliminated the guesswork. Thankyou..HateoutoftunepianosVersion: 0

✓ Pro quality appI've used nearly all of the professional piano tuning devices over the past 20 years, then it was machines, now it's mostly apps. I am an RPT, aural tuner by training, and a full time Tech. I wanted to give Tune Lab a try because the price was good, it offered some unique features, and I heard good things about it. I've had the app now 2 weeks, and so far so good. It's user friendly, versatile, and extremely sensitive. There's other very good programs for more money, but for me the value is here. My favorite thing about it over some others is it's stable note switching ability. It's ability to hear the necessary partials and still stay on sequence is a welcome attribute..J-mancVersion: 3.2

✓ Indispensible appI've been using this program for 10 years, first on a Pocket PC, then a Windows Mobile phone, and now on the iPhone. The iPhone version is similar with a slightly improved over-pull feature. I used to use an Accu-Tuner, but I can't imagine tuning without TuneLab. My only disappointment is the look of the iPhone app... it's actually uglier than the Windows version. Where are the colors and textures that every other iPhone app has? I'm hoping that some future version will look a little nicer..Mark StiversVersion: 2.0

✓ Sheer joy to useI took up piano tuning with my local tuner 8 years ago and started the hard way; however excellent training. This app comes along and it optimises the tuning curve for you based on the inharmonicity readings. First he said my bass octaves were world class then he said the whole tuning of a Yamaha concert grand he’d restrung was amazing. Highly accurate, it is a joy to use. You can easily save files. Today I could microtune from 0.7c over, to 0.4c, my preferred area of 0-0.6c over. There is no tuner on earth who could differentiate between 0.3c over or under. This one does everything. Thoroughly professional it is a game-changer..ArchiescatVersion: 4.4

✓ Robert TreadwayI've been using Tunelab for the IPhone for about two decades now and am very pleased with it. I have also used the more expensive programs out there and tho they are good they are not better quality. Also, Tunelab has good support if you have any questions. Try that with Cybertuner(they want you to pay extra for any help). I recommend Tunelab over the others in price and equal quality of product..PianotunermanVersion: 4.6.1

✓ Happy customerI've been using this program for a couple of years and I'm happy with the results. They quick and excellent support..ZeroreplayVersion: 4.3

✓ GreatWorks flawlessly.VolkspianoVersion: 3.2

✓ Great AppThe best there is for tuning pianos in iOS..BrowntovenVersion: 4.2

✓ Easy, precise, and accurateI did a full semitone pitch raise yesterday and the over pull feature saved me so much time. Definitely worth the money. I'm just an amateur tuner and this works great for me!.Derrickb1Version: 3.0

✓ Great toolThis is a very complete app for piano tuning, however, after one year of using it, I can point some "ergonomic" things that could be changed. When loading a saved tuning, it should reset the pitch raise, instead it keeps data from the previous tuning that we have to manually reset each time, and while I'm talking about pitch raise, it should save the bass bridge information in the tuning file, again we must set it for each tuning (to do a pitch raise of course)... Also, auto note switching could be an "On/off" button on the main display since many pianos give trouble to the iPhone in the first bass notes and after that it's okay. For now, we have to navigate to a sub-sub-menu back and forth to change this. Voila, just my toughs over an otherwise great product who have saved me a lot of time (but could save us even more time)! ;-) Thank you!.Greg QuebecVersion: 2.0

✓ Best choice for easy, accurate tuningWhat a joy it was getting to know this incredible bit of software recently. The design and functionality are very intuitive. I’ve never had such an easy time with the highest two octaves and I’m very pleased with the result. I’ve tried the alternatives and I can tell you, if you use anything else you’re wasting your money..Canadian ryeVersion: 4.4

✓ Great appI’ve been using TuneLab for about 15 years of my 40 year piano tuning career. I have some of the more expensive apps, but have come to sure TL more than the others because of its simplicity. It’s great for pitch raises also. I recommend it..Asdf75Version: 4.3.1

✓ A Piano Man in Bossier City, LAGreat professional piano tuning app. Nice, clean, intuitive user controls. Simple to use and very powerful. Easy to measure the piano's inharmonicity and generate a nicely matched tuning. Do a pitch raise quickly without having to use (and keep moving) mutes. Well done!.CMD223Version: 0

✓ Piano tunerI have used Tune Lab on Pocket PC for more than 5 years as a full time piano tuner. I was excited to hear that it would become availably on the iPhone. Since I downloaded it I have used it on several pianos. It works very much like it does on the ppc. There are a few differences but nothing objectionable. I am glad to have it and I will probably use it exclusively from now on. Way to go Bob Scott!.Pat MihlfeldVersion: 0

✓ 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..PerthPianoVersion: 0

✓ For Professional UseI am a long time “by ear only” professional piano technician who started using TuneLab a decade ago just for experimenting. This is not a “do it yourself” tuning app for pianos. It is an excellent measuring tool for real piano technicians who already understand the fundamentals of piano tuning. Everyone has their preferences, but it is in the same league as Verituner and CyberTuner, other pro apps in the pricing stratosphere. It is especially useful for pitch raising and tuning in noisy environments. I recommend it..TJArmVersion: 4.3.1

✓ AwesomeThere was an old piano at school that was way out of tune. im not a piano tuner, but ive read things here and there and have basic tuning equipment. ive fixed unisons on my piano in the past. i tried to tune this old piano by ear, but i couldnt get it to sound quite right. i tried using a free tuning app, and it actually made it worse. then i bought this app for 300 dollars. i was skeptical, but it is totally worth it. the old piano sounds great now. amazing. if you need to tune a piano, buy this..ZxzczvasadafqwqeqrVersion: 2.0

✓ Amazing - but a few requestsThis app is great. It sets a beautiful temperament, stretches the piano quite nicely, and you get smooth progressions of all intervals of increasing beat rates as you go up the piano. The over pull feature works well. I had been using the free Entropy Piano Tuner app for awhile, and it got to the point where my ear could set a better temperament than it did, so I invested in TuneLab. I have been happy ever since. Very good for the price. Be sure to read the user manual before using, though. Just a few requests: Better UI. The app works beautifully, but it doesen't look very beautiful. A little prettier please! Other cloud support. Dropbox works well, but I would love to be able to save my tuning files to OneDrive, my primary cloud storage source. Google drive, iCloud Drive, OneDrive support needed for greater flexibility..JmMusicianVersion: 4.2

✓ Tune Lab ProgramI have been a piano technician for 32 years. I have only recently been experimenting with electronic tuning devices. Previously, I tuned only by ear. I really like the "Tune Lab" App. Looking forward to using it on a regular basis..P-anno-manVersion: 2.0

✓ Excellent! Professional!I am a Registered Piano Technician in the PTG; I have been using Tunelab Pro for almost 10 years now, and have been extremely happy with it. I have tuned pianos at 3 universities, 2 symphonies, and many professional artists such as Emmanuel Ax and Jim Brickman. I have received had a single complaint related to stretch or temperament. The GUI on this app is fantastic and very easy to use. I highly recommend this for the professional piano technician..Mike BreakallVersion: 2.0

✓ A must have toolI have been a piano tuner for over 40 years. I started using Tune Lab 11 years ago and love it The most valuable thing about it is that I can tune even in extremely noisy locations with full confidence The most challenging situation involved tuning in a building full of noisy people. Pouring rain on a metal roof and concrete floor. The acoustics were so bad I couldn’t really even hear the piano. It would have been impossible to tune by ear but TuneLab saved the day.
