Why ETD Tuning?
Master Piano Tuning Faster with Modern Technology
Today’s electronic tuning devices (ETDs) have achieved remarkable precision, allowing piano technicians to work more efficiently while reducing physical strain. These advanced devices, typically in the form of software on a laptop or handheld device, can accurately measure and account for a piano’s unique characteristics. They sample several notes within a piano and calculate extremely accurate tuning based on those samples.
Why ETD Method is Perfect for New Learners
When you’re starting your journey in piano tuning, an ETD provides significant advantages. You’ll be able to perform essential tasks like pitch raising faster and more accurately, reducing the need to retune sections you’ve already completed. Plus, you can work for longer periods without experiencing the fatigue that often affects traditional tuners, and even tune effectively in environments that would challenge those using aural-only methods.
Professional-Grade Results from Day One
With an ETD, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can achieve professional results. The sophisticated calculations these devices make often mean that even neglected pianos require fewer tunings to achieve stability. The device makes precise calculations to leave the piano in tune with less effort, delivering the same high-quality results that a properly trained technician would produce by ear.
Industry Standard Technology
ETDs have become the industry standard, widely used in factories, dealerships, and concert halls worldwide. In fact, a survey of concert-level piano technicians revealed that 78% use ETDs when tuning for professional performances. Choose the modern path to piano tuning success with the Apex Way – learn with an ETD and position yourself at the forefront of the industry from day one.
