The leading textbook and the most comprehensive source available, for both practicing piano tuners and academic researchers, on the theory and practice of piano tuning. By the former Royal National College lecturer in Piano Technology and Tuning Theory. 680 pages, with over 300 illustrations and tables. The book covers in-depth theory and practice from elementary to advanced level. It answers common questions raised by students of piano tuning about the actual soundscapes and behaviour of piano tone that are encountered in tuning practice. It is suitable for both students and professionals of piano tuning, general readers, and academics with interdisciplinary interests in the subject.

This text book combines in one volume four major facets of the practical art and theory of piano tuning that students of the art must approach in formal training, and explains techniques that typically develop later in professional practice. These facets are the traditional model, the art itself, contemporary scientific descriptions, and the concept of musical temperament. Today, the 19th century traditional model of piano tuning still functions as a very basic map for the acoustical territory in which piano tuners work, but remains elementary and idealised. Modern acoustics can go much further in its descriptions than the 19th century model and is used in this book to elucidate the practical art, whilst carefully avoiding scientism. The book serves as an instruction and reference manual to advanced level on the practical art and its associated theory, and answers common questions raised by students about the actual soundscapes that are encountered in practice

Excerpt from Modern Piano Tuning and Allied Arts: Including Principles and Practice of Piano Tuning, Regulation of Piano Action, Repair of the Piano, Elementary Principles of Player-Piano Pneumatics, General Construction of Player Mechanism, and Repair of Player Mechanism In writing this book, I have tried to do two things which are always thought to be admirable but seldom thought to be conjunctible. I have tried to set forth the theory of Equal Temperament in a manner at once correct and simple. Simultaneously I have tried to construct and expound a method for the practical application of that theory in practical tuning, equally correct, equally simple and yet thoroughly practical. The construction of the piano has not in this volume been treated with minuteness of detail, for this task I have already been able to perform in a former treatise; but in respect of the soundboard, the strings, the hammers and the action, the subject-matter has been set forth quite elaborately, and some novel hypotheses have been advanced, based on mature study, research and experience. Here also, however, the theoretical has been justified by the practical, and in no sense have I yielded to the temptation to square facts to theories.

Piano Unison Tuning written by and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015-12-27 with categories.

This book provides a general, technical description of fine-tuning piano unisons, based on the contemporary acoustical theory, which is outlined in the accompanying volume The Physics of Piano Unisons (Volume 1 of this series). The content of this book is aimed at anyone with a technical interest in the subject, including tuning students and professionals. The discussion can be related to practice, and its only mathematical content is graphs illustrating acoustical behaviour. For a more comprehensive treatment of all aspects of piano tuning and its theory, please consult Theory and Practice of Piano Tuning by the same author.
