[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]The Go APE Aural Piano Tuning System is a collection of concepts and techniques that help technicians produce more Accurate, Precise, and Efficient tunings.
The three elements of the system are:
– Double String Unison: Tuning two strings at once.
– Non-Speaking Length Tension Analysis: Understanding why strings are unstable and how to prevent it. Knowing how to get the smallest pitch changes possible when needed.
– Beat Speed Windows. Setting interval beat speeds that fit into the slow and fast beat speeds of two already tuned intervals, reducing guesswork.
The lessons are organized below in three columns.
Column 1: The actual procedure
Column 2: Theory videos
Column 3: Quizes
Not all the videos are finished. If they are not finished, you will see “Pending” listed beside its name.[/text_block]
