Can You Hear the Difference Between Before & After Piano Tuning? | Tiffany Vlogs #21

I played Bach Prelude No.1 in C Major to see if you can hear the difference between before and after piano tuning! I hope you learned something about pianos from the former Met Opera piano technician! Let me know in the comments :)

I was at a failed stadium in Arkansas once and there was this grand piano on the stage open to the elements and you could tell how it looked it was there in the open on the stage open to the elements and rain was tearing it up but I sat down and started playing it and I knew it was going to be hard with some keys permanently pressed down and did my best with it. Today I wonder how that piano is doing. qqqqq

[@dibaldgyfm9933]

Oh I see it now - the difference between the damper movement indicates that the keymechanism absorbs more energy; but still, the non-adjusted C also has the little pop and then fallback as it should. Actually I have played uprights which repeated faster than a Steinway Grand. The history of the piano is interesting, in early 1900 years piano key weight (the weight needed to get the key to go down) were less than now, and thus playing was lighter, but the instruments did not have so much volume (needed if you try to compete with a big orchestra!)

[@alfeberlin]

That's my experience with piano tuners in general. They love their work, they visit only people who really care for a very nice piece of equipment, they next to never work in poor conditions, they have a very quick (some hours) of work to achieve a visible (okay, rather audible) result and they next to always know more about the equipment than their customers, so they always have the feeling of competence and appreciation. All these are perfect reasons to be very VERY satisfied with your job which helps a lot to be a nice guy :)

[@Luuky97]

After the tuning, it sounded softer and more sensitive, thus more emotional in my opinion! Love the vlogs!

[@donglindeng7401]

big different about resonance， before you could hear other strings making noise with no hitting. after tunning， every single note is just right there.

Yeah, that's what I thought I think it's not the tuning necessarily it's the thing he did where he brushed the fibres of the hammers.

[@jcwpiano]

You don't often hear Bach's Prelude in C maj. played without pedal but on a personal level, I recently discovered that, if played technically correct, it sounds nicer. It was great listening to it.

[@00Gym_Motivational_Shorts]

Baroque music shouldn't be played with pedal

[@Eorzat]

It honestly shouldn't be played with the pedal to begin with. Typical performance error.

[@scmontgomery]

One that far out of tune requires a follow up visit within a week for adjustment after the wood has taken the new tension.

Actually most pianos of that vintage can be rebuilt with new dowels, felts, and the results can be fantastic if they were not subject to huge cycles of humidity and dry which cracks the soundboard. If the soundboard is in good shape, the remainder can be re-felted and tuned.

I feel the piano in my school has not been tuned for at least the last 35 years. You can't play one of the notes and every other note makes a horrible sound.

[@jameswieser483]

I love that piece, it was my introduction to Bach. I could definitely hear a difference. The middle register was clearer and rung out more. The bass was bolder and clearer as well. I use the a pedal when I play this piece. My piano teachers best friend was a piano tuner and he used to come to my house every 2 or 3 months to fine tune my piano. Your 100% correct, piano tuners are indeed interesting people. The really good ones have all kinds of tricks to make your piano sound better. I enjoyed this blog very much Tiffany, keep them coming. 🎼🎶🎵

For me (unfortunately), I hear zero difference. You folks who can distinguish a difference are truly blessed. I'm in my early 70s and had several head injuries as a child. Consequently, there is hearing loss in both ears with lifelong severe double tinnitus. Ironically, I've always been enamored listening to classical music. However, I can't help to wonder what it must sound like to hear the lovely nuances heard by those with gifted sound acuity. Thank you for sharing a lovely and informative video! Kind regards.

[@catkeys6911]

Very nice, the way the tuner was explaining keydip, hammerblow and aftertouch to Tiffany. When I used to tune & regulate (yes, that's what the "Keys" come from in my handle), I would do that if I thought the customer was really showing interest in the process. Generally, the more dedication a player had to their playing, the more interest they had in the instrument.

[@gboles97]

This randomly showed up in my recommended but I’m so glad it did. Clicked on this expecting just to be able to say I can hear it which I could but what I didn’t expect was to be so delighted just to hear him talk about the piano. I love music so much and have sang choral and barbershop music for years now and you can just hear his passion for music as he talks about the piano. He reminds so much of my director from high school and his passion for music

[@christianwouters6764]

At Yamaha we tuners were regularly "invited" to tuning contest. Locked in soundproof cabins and a Japanese guy noted the timing with a stopwatch. Then he checked every of the 88 notes. It struck me he could enumerate every note without looking at the keys. I only know that a1 = #49 😄

[@someone6010]

It's so admirable how excited he gets when talking about the instrument.

[@leosolarius752]

It wasn’t TOO out of tune, more like the timbre was off. You could tell by how after adjusting, the melody was more richer and finer than the first which sounded thin and ache-y. If you get what I mean.

No but if you know it gets annoying 🤣

[@leosolarius752]

@@Kt-cn2rq so true. So very true.

[@84953]

Thank you to those who made a quick reference possible. I can't say that I hear much in the difference in the actual tuning of the piano, but I can hear a noticeable difference in the tonality. The notes on the lower end particularly sound clearer and not so muffled, and there is just the slightest but noticeable difference in the notes ringing out a little farther after being played. Nice to have someone there to teach a little bit more about what all is involved in tuning a piano, and it's not all just about pitches.

Great video! Keep in mind folks, I doubt Tiffany ever lets her piano get too far away from her. I am a very mediocre pianist with not much of an ear but I just had my piano tuned two weeks ago and I just happened to play this same Bach piece after the tuner was done and my wife and I were amazed at the difference. My piano was far more out of tune beforehand though...

[@LrdVnm]

Hey Tiffany, lovely video! About ¾ years back I graduated from the only piano technician school in the Netherlands and haven't been able to do much with my education since. Hearing your tuner explain these concepts, even though in a different language, was a delight. Thanks so much for this.

[@clamayaceo]

This was a great, great vlog! I have always enjoyed the times the piano tuner came to adjust the piano. Your performance before and after-to my ears after tuning, the tone was richer and fuller, and the legatos sounded more connected and not as short/abrupt as soon as the finger left the key. The sound is warmer and well-rounded. And, this is one of my most favorite Bach pieces that my brother plays; I’m going to learn it some time so I can enjoy it. I loved your performance. But, I’m always partial to your interpretation anyway. Well, that’s what I noticed anyway. This was very informative and I had fun. It was funny when you commented on his color coordination. I was impressed with his expertise and it is hard to find a really good piano tuner who is trained the traditional way. When he told you for whom he tuned in the past, that said it all. My new and current piano tuner apprenticed with a senior tuner and though he is good, he should be better after more years. But, he told me that sadly, this has become a lost art. Love Peanut. Peanut got an education, too! 😄

[@LegendTheAnonymous]

I’m not the most well versed in this area, but out of curiosity what do you mean? Can the feeling of the keys change after tuning? I can hear that there is a difference is sound but not in touch.

[@liegon]

@@LegendTheAnonymous A difference in sound can also subjectively change the feeling of playing. In my experience, if the tuning is just right, it can feel like you have more control over the dynamics - and perhaps you actually do. It may be because of interference of the frequencies of the 3 strings when playing a note. Also when playing with pedal, the tuning will have an effect on the sympathetic resonance of the strings and may lead to better clarity. And this may also have an effect on the perceived dynamic depth.

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Oh bet sounds nice now. Wish I had a grandma bad a piano. My sister piano back in Australia.

[@DrQuizzler]

That was neat with the tuner guy and all the technical explanations and stories. The stuff about aftertouch was particularly interesting, because I mostly remember learning about aftertouch with some MIDI keyboard controllers where you can re-emphasize a note, creating little crecsendos or vibrato after playing the note, which I remember seeing done with harpsichords too. Skipping from the start to the to the end section and back, the tuning and re-voicing definitely made for a cleaner sound.

[@leroyusa935]

Before the tuning, the striking of the hammers were too independent. After tuning the hammers had a distinctive blending of richness that made the strings resonate ever so slightly together, without that individual tinny distinctive sound. The attack of each string or note was softened and the decay was enhanced with more follow up resonance, giving it a richer fuller sound. A visual waveform of each note using an oscilloscope would make it easier to explain this resonating phenomenon.

[@pomeroydl]

Amazing, what a difference. Great vlog learned a lot. Thanks Tiffany.

[@canonguy1]

Great video... learn so much from someone who knows about pianos.... not easy to find a great tuner or technician.... 🎹🎹🎹

[@martygt3357]

I heard long ago that concert venues told Horowitz to bring his own piano next time because his special tuner wrecked the instrument for everyone else. It might be the wire brushing of the hammers that could not be undone without removal and gluing new felt. Big dollar repair to a concert grand.

[@jpdj2715]

Now you know about aftertouch and saw the tuner work the felt on the hammers a bit, you will appreciate this story. Enigmatic pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (ABM) was to perform at Carnegie Hall. It has, I believe, some 6,500 seats and with that the hall is very large for a European. ABM knew a couple things so in preparation for the performance, he instructed the tuner to make the piano brighter. With all the people with their clothes, women maybe with fur coats, etc., he was afraid that the piano would sound dull for most people in the hall. The tuner worked the felt. ABM asked "brighter". This may have repeated a couple times. The day after the performance, a music reviewer of a leading newspaper (like NYT or WJ) wrote that ABM played beautifully but the piano was awfully bright. Or, it helps to know these tuning things.

I wasn't as serious a performer, I wanted to compose and playing was a necessary evil for me, but I took a piano tuning class and found it was a great help to my composing but surprisingly also to playing. I recommend every serious piano player to learn at least a bit about it. I think knowledge of tuning is one of the differentiators that makes Krystian Zimerman's playing so amazing.

A piano can give you different sounds at different times of the day, temperature, humidity, etc. My string bass sounds differently according to conditions.

[@sarbachpiano]

The thing with the brush is a good idea, gonnna try this. After some time you must increase the aftertouch AND the letoff, because of the hammerweaer and the compression of the roles. I prefer minimal aftertouch, as indicated in the Steinway manual. It feels harder, thats true, but improves the repetition. The most important thing for precise regulation is the letoff as near as possible to the strings. This allows you really soft playing.

[@timothychan1967]

It kind of blows my mind how many pianist I've met do not know their instrument. I know there are a lot of parts that constitutes in building a piano. I say this in comparison to the wind or string players I've met who know their instruments very well. I was fortunate to have a semester of tuning lessons while finishing my piano performance degree. It really opened up a whole world of listening. And no, one does not need perfect pitch to know if a piano is tuned. Simply put you just listen to the beats from various intervals such as 4th and 5th.

[@fpm1979]

Aftertouch is something I have only heard in correlation to synthesisers. I didn’t know grand pianos have it, too. The old analogue Yamaha CS80 had aftertouch effects, like vibrato or add more volume to brass instrument sounds and accentuate their harmonics at the same time.
