Is this good for piano tuning also?

I use it with my cello but recently gave it to my son for use when he tunes pianos. He likes it much better that the one he using.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work for piano, with the built-in mic, however I have only used it on steel guitar.

I used this kit to tune my piano and had no problems with the head of the wrench. This kit was well worth the money I spent on it.

This is one ot he best items for historic tuning and temperaments, The LCD Text needs no light, by itself you can see better, if not try with reading glasses like me, else I couldn't read it too! More on this subject: Have you tuned your keyboard or instrument in A = 428 Hz? It is much better for your voice and health!

This tuner will inform you as to what note it "hears" when you strike a piano key.

You need to hire a person (a piano tuner) to tune a piano. It takes 1-3 hours to tune a piano depending on how out-of-tune it is and how experienced the piano tuner is.

I'm on the road at the moment without it but I'm sure that no, it doesn't. It has a fair number of temperaments available, while unfortunately 1/4 comma meantone is not one of them. Only 1/6 comma E- or D#. I seem to be playing more and more in 1/4 comma so that's a bit of a downer. I'm not even sure that Just Intonation is a temperament, as the pure intervals move with the chords being played through all keys in just. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a tuner that can do it, maybe an iPhone app, but I think the only way the Korg would be able to do it is to use the temperament closest to pure for the notes you want to check and then know how much to add or subtract when you are reading the meter. Good question though. It makes me think.... It's been a great tuner for me other than the 1/4 comma problem, where I've had to set the frets with a ruler and then make small adjustments to whatever keyboard instrument is there. It's survived several drops from the music stand and the batteries seem to last forever.

I use mine on guitars and a 5 string banjo which tune to different notes than a guitar. I haven't tried it on other instruments but it should work just fine so long as you are within its upper and lower frequency limits. For example it might not read the highest piano key or the lowest but within its range it would do just fine. It works by picking up vibrations from whatever it is clamped on. It, of course, has no idea where the vibrations come from just that there are vibrations and it will tell you what note they are and how far off you are from the nearest musical note.

I use it for trombone. Clipped to the bell. It won't tune anything lower than the F below the staff on bass clef.

I am not sure because my real piano is out of tune but this one sounds OK to me

Yes, I have tuned 3 grand pianos and one spinet with this thing. It is not reliable in the upper or extreme lower register. You will have to tune by ear using the 21st. I use it on my harpsichord all the time--same problems in the extreme ends. It does really help nail that unison though. Hope that helps.

There are a wide range of voice settings. It is not overly sophisticated, but certainly adequate for most uses. It is a lot of piano for the money.

You can tune it to any A from 349 to 499, you can also tune in different temperaments. This enables you to tune a piano in the pitch it is before rising the tuning during some weeks of adjustmet

I use it on guitars but it is supposed to be multi-instrumental. You will have to know what you want your strings tuned to.

I haven't used it for that purpose, however, it has picked up music in the background of my recordings very clearly. I would keep the recorder at a bit of a distance from the piano, since having it very close tends to "fuzz" the recording a bit.

hello! well i do recommend this for beginners in synthezizers, this one is of ´the simple ones`, but attention! this is not a toy, is a very powerfull machine, with wich you can do a lot of things. so if you are looking for a simple keyboard this is not for you. instead if you want to experiment with sounds and start to understand synthtezizers, this is a good start. this instrument will fit very well beginners but also experts who know how to train this little monster!

If you are just talking about playing the melody, very few songs use more than one-and-a-half octaves, so that would be fine. Full piano accompaniments will be more problematic, although you should be able to, for example, ignore some of the bass notes while learning. If you are talking about beginning piano pieces, the early ones will fit within the range of this keyboard.

This is great for my flute that goes from C-4 (Middle C) to C-7, or 3 octaves. It will play a note for tuning showing the octave numbers from C-4 to C-7, but when I play a note on my flute, it tells me if I am flat or sharp, and shows the note, but not the octave. It is complicated to explain. It is great for flute, but I would not buy it for a piano. You should check with Borg, or somewhere that sells pianos and/or tuners. It did show sharp or flat below C-4 and above C-7 on the piano, but the directions indicate you can't rely on those readings.
