Description

Verituner is an advanced piano tuning app for use by professional piano technicians. This new app brings our leading Verituner product line to the best ever platform in its 15 year history. Piano technicians have said that Verituner technology has given them better sounding tunings than they ever thought possible with the fewest steps. Our patented multi-partial technology calculates your tuning to perfectly match each piano’s unique scaling. Automatic hands-off operation keeps you tuning quickly and eliminates tedious pre-tuning measurement steps. FEATURES • Aural Quality Tunings – create well-balanced tunings with the only tuning technology that tunes all the partials on all the notes. • Quick and Accurate Pitch Raises – get close quickly with overpull targets individually calculated from the starting pitch of each note. • Historical Temperaments – get access to over 90 of the best known historical temperaments, or easily key in your own custom temperaments. • Adjustable Stretch – precisely control octave widths with the built-in Styles, or create your own Custom Style to exactly match your aural tuning preferences. • Alternate Standard Pitch – tune to alternate pitches in a wide range of A=392 to A=466. • AutoNote – jump to any note and octave as you tune with automatic hands free tuning. • Saved Tunings - instantly recall prior tunings so you can tune quickly and consistently on frequently tuned pianos. HOW DOES VERITUNER WORK? Verituner measures the inharmonicity of every note while you are tuning, accumulating a detailed picture of the scaling of the entire piano. Then it calculates tuning targets for all the partials of all 88 notes to produce a well-balanced tuning custom fit to the piano. By tuning all the partials, the best possible compromise can be reached for every tuning interval, and the need for aural adjustments is substantially reduced. All of this is done completely automatically while you tune – without any extra steps required. CAN I TUNE MY OWN PIANO? The answer is yes! BUT… Piano tuning involved advanced skills and experience. A beginner will be challenged with correctly interpreting the moving tuning displays, and performing very fine tuning pin movements that a professional takes years to perfect. If you are an amateur, please contact us to understand what to expect before purchasing this app. QUESTIONS AND SUPPORT If you have any questions about the Verituner app or need any assistance whatsoever, please visit our website www.veritune.com and contact us by email or telephone. We are always happy to help!

  • It’s all about what’s under the hood

    I love the Verituner. One of its most unique features is that there are several programable components that will help you style your tunings. These different changeable variables empower you to employ your own taste. If you are a practiced aural tuner— this is great. There are temperament options (including custom definable temperaments). While tuning, there are automatic Inharmonicity stretch calculations running throughout the tuning process until no more information on partials can be gathered by the app, and finally a “ style “ option, which effects how to handle the collected data from the partials it hears. There are a few good EPT machines and apps. I used a Sanderson accutune machine for a number of years with great results. For the apps, Tune lab costs less and RCT costs more. I found it difficult to decide on one so I downloaded the user manuals of all three knowing they can all do a great job. RCT has a very friendly looking graphic UI, but I could not see how any of these others, within their literature, could compare with the number of variables and variations you can employ in the Verituner app. It’s worth tinkering with and understanding how each variable effects the outcome, and after a few months I’m really getting amazing results, and can alter the style of my tunings to suit the customers needs.

    I am a piano technician by trade, I trained at a school who had the developer of this software teach us a class all about it and the math behind it. Let me tell you, it is highly sophisticated and worth its weight in gold. In the school we used it to test our aural tunings and it did that amazingly. Using a spreadsheet on the computer we were able to input numbers of our tunings measured and saved with the Verituner, and the spreadsheet gave us a graph of exactly where our mistakes were and how bad they were! Very useful for a budding tuner. Using the software to tune a piano I can do 4+ pianos in a day (depending on their proximity to one another!), and I am ALWAYS satisfied with the results. I am a professional, and this does its job without breaking a sweat, makes me look great, and has taken my tuning time from 2 hours to 1, except for the occasional pitch raise. There is practically no setup, and you have the option to tune in a wide variety of temperaments which is great because I also work on harpsichords, fortepianos and other historical instruments. As well as having the ability to save tunings which honestly I don’t use much. But I could if I wanted to! If you are serious about piano tuning and want the proper software to do it well, improve your craft, and diversify your toolbox, this is definitely it. It will pay for itself in short order. I owe much of my success in the business to the skills I’ve developed using the Verituner and the people who showed me how to use it.

    Let's be clear... tuning a piano is extremely difficult. Even with the best tools it requires extreme focus and patience. That being said, in my experience this is the best electric piano tuner out there. The forum is also an excellent resource. Email the developer if you have any issues and my experience has been that they are very responsive. Great work on this one. Worth every penny

  • Very good tunings!

    Works great. I only tune my own pianos and used tune lab for a long time. My friend told me about this one and I decided to take the plunge. It does a great job. I like the end result tuning a little better than tune lab. I don't know if it's worth $300+ more, but I'll get a lot of turnings out of this, and if I'm going to spend the time doing them, I may as well do them the best way available to me. This seems to me to be the best. It works across devices, too. I prefer the iPhone, but iPad works great, too.

    I read a book on piano tuning and after a few years practice was able to do a passable job on my own piano, but using Verituner I can make it sound great! It really does what is says it will do. I will still have my piano professionally tuned every year (at my skill level it is still too much work), but this will allow me to keep it sounding great year-round.

    Wow, wonderful. I've been a big box user for several years, this is even easier to see and it seems to be more responsive

    I am an amateur pianinst and very amateur PT. I read a few books on tuning but was not confident in my ability without having had any supervised training. After much hand wringing, I decided to buy Verituner and see if I could do it. Long story short, I did it! It took me several hours but it was fun and interesting, and the results (imo) are very very good to my ears. I am sure I will improve after more experience with the app and obtaining a quality hammer. I am also looking forward to experimenting with the different temperaments in the app. The software is easy to use and very well explained in the downloadable user's guide (I recommend reading this before starting.) Simply a fantastic product for amateurs and pros alike.

    As an early adopter of the original Verituner VT-100 tuning device in 2001, I can whole-heartedly recommend this app for the professional and aspiring piano technician. It boots up instantly, no more waiting for the software to load. It takes a little getting used to using the touchscreen instead of punching buttons, but once you get use to it, it is very intuitive to use. I was a little worried at first about not being able to transfer my old tuning files to my iPhone, but I have found that even a brand new tuning sounds as good or maybe even better than a tuning with my VT-100. The bright color screen is easier on the eyes; I can tune 4-5 pianos without a recharge; it weighs ounces instead of pounds; and the app cost a lot less than my VT-100. If you own an iPhone and are a piano technician, do yourself a favor, cough up the bucks and make the investment in yourself and in your business.
