Piano tuning is a confusing landscape. There are so many people telling you this ETD is best, that temperament sequence is best. The truth is you and your customers only want one thing - pure and stable unisons! And that's because they are so hard to find in the professional tunings that are being done out there today.

The problem is two fold: The unison needs to be stable (See the Superior Stability course) but first, the unison needs to be pure.

This is easier said than done. The problem is the tuner only knows the unison is not pure if they can hear beating partials, changing tone, etc. (Don't worry if you do not understand this. That is what we teach you in this course). But what does the tuner think if they do not hear the beating partials or changing tone when they are actually there? Exactly! Pure unison, when it is not! This is why so many professional tuners are tuning out of tune unisons, and charging big money for these sub-par tunings!

If this bothers you - if you're sick and tired of wasting money on tunings that sound "off" because the unisons were never pure to begin with, or you care about your customers and want to give them the best service possible - this course will teach you what pure unisons sound like, and how to be sure when you've got them.

This course will teach you how to tune pure unisons by explaining what to listen for. You will get examples of what a pure unison sounds like and you will be able to practice tuning pure unisons with our online tuning exercises.

→ Learn to hear beating partials.
→ Learn to hear the "word" that the unison is trying to tell you.
→ Understand what a pure unison sounds like.
→ Practice tuning pure unisons with our online piano tuning exercises.

Pure unisons are the #1 requirement for all good tunings and the #1 most difficult skill to find in a professional tuner. This course will make it easier for you to achieve this one skill that has alluded so many professional tuners.
