[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]This is what started it all. A search to determine what information out there pertaining to piano tuning was actually accurate, relevant, and true. This course busts many preconceived ideas about piano tuning that make it unnecessarily difficult to learn piano tuning. Many of these ideas are still perpetuated by well meaning technicians and piano technology instructors and formal schools today. If you want to be efficient in your learning, you NEED to understand these myths and why they are wrong.[/text_block]

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]While learning to tune and repair pianos through howtotunepianos.com is the most efficient and least expensive way to learn, let me save you time and money by pre-qualifying you to take these courses. There’s a chance that your skills and aptitude may not align with those that this profession demands.[/text_block]

Double String Unison (DSU) Open Unison Technique
[/text_block]
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]DSU allows you to make the smallest adjustments in pitch, allowing you to set extremely accurate and precise pitches when tuning. Also, it allows you to know exactly when your hammer movement has caused the pitch to change, allowing you to know more fully, exactly how your hammer technique is working. You can also confirm if the pitches are stable much more easily and without hard test blows. Imagine being able to set an accurate pitch with only one movement of the hammer. With DSU, this is all possible.[/text_block]
