What is better, aural or scope tuning?
– It is hard to beat the human ear with a machine, but there is a place for everything. Piano strings vibrate in harmonics, so every string generates a number of notes. All scopes can only measure one of these notes. All the others must be checked by ear. As most pianos are not receiving the amount of tuning they should, a more consistent tuning is generated when the general plan of the tuning is done by scope and the color of the tuning is added by ear. I like to use the best of both worlds.
