These audio files were recorded with my iPhone5 SE a few minutes after tuning so I could evaluate from somewhere other than at the piano at the time of the tuning. At the time, I was working on my midrange and treble tuning and built up a bit of a collection of my ‘field work’. I thought it might be fun to put them on my website somewhere so anyone interested could have a listen as well.
Each recording is 3 – 4 minutes long and may include some extraneous noises.
I start with chords (Eb, Db, and Bb), then a piece of a late Beethoven Sonata in various permutations. (I find this part useful for aurally checking the midrange and treble tuning). The last sampling, is good for aurally checking the overall sound/tuning of the piano from the lowest notes to the highest.
{When listening to these, if you have a ceiling fan, make sure the fan is turned off!}
