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

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!)

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 :)

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.

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.

This video is so lovely. The sound of the piano is even more beautiful after the tuning, wow it's just such a treat to listen to. Thank you for sharing this!!

Loved the video! Enjoyed it very much and was very educational! Your videos keep getting better and better Tiffany! ❤️

I love how you make this prelude flow in and out by varying the dynamic level, while keeping a mostly clockwork-like pacing. You make the piano sound like a jewelled music box. Very nice!

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.

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.

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

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.

Just bought a piano a few weeks back and had it tuned now. What a difference! The upper register now glistens like stars in a summer night. Love it.

Gosh...Bach blows my mind. It was a little difficult to hear the difference through my speakers but the sourness was gone after the tuning. You play like a real champ. Love these videos:)

0:05 before tuning 8:25 after tuning

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! 😄

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 😄

Hi Tiffany, thank you so much for letting us share your musical experience. Supper exciting! Greetings from Munich

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

wow, the difference is HUGE.. So soft but bright still with a bit of hardness....WONDERFUL! I've been tuning for 8 years now and i'm getting into regulation now..

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

After tuning so much more feeling in this beautiful music as it is meant by the composer, fantastic!

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.

That tuner is a cool guy! ^^

This was a terrific video - that tuner guy was just awesome I learned a lot from him.

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

Fascinating video! Thanks for sharing, Tiffany. 😊

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...

I love being a piano tuner

Just had my piano done. Your tuner went into the same details as mine. It was nice to hear that they said nearly identical things.

I could tell...i can't stop watching your videos and lovely humor.

Very interesting. Thank you Tiffany and the TUNER!

Been binge watching tiffany's vlogs for quite a while now

Mega interesting! Thank you so much for sharing this.

Great video! Great personality! Very cool knowledge from the tuner, thank you!

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.

Wow watching you play in the beginning really made me think of who I wanna become, im a beginner and honestly i cant stay on tempo for the life of me so watching that made me think you were like a superhero/robot 😂💗

Ok now THAT was cool! I've never seen a piano getting tuned! FASCINATING!! 💙

I love your choice from the WTC. Thank you for this video

I recently watch a video which described the difference between the action of a grand piano versus the action of an upright, and I believe they described the "after touch". Fascinating information.

More videos like this!! I loved the discussion!

What a great job ! Thats why he tunes voices regulates etc at the Met and I don't.. I don't hunch over like that to turn the capstans, I sit on a low stool. . He kept "harping" on about "after touch" He is SO "spot on. ! What a professional !

My piano is getting tuned tomorrow and I'm so excited!!!!!!

Sounds very beautiful after tuning! The notes sound "whole" ...each note at peace with itself and others. :)

Thank you Tiffany 💕 I truly enjoy your vlogs. You know I've seen tuner take out steam iron to some pesky old hard felt.

I'll have to get my piano back in tune very soon too... I definitely can tell a difference between your Piano before and after the tuning, especially when comparing the two recording side by side 😂

I love this channel, I'm just an odd crossover from the sinix art community though so I don't know lots about music. But I really enjoyed learning all this stuff about pianos, pianists, and their technicians.

gah I love those later Estonia pianos a bunch! I found it's easier to hear the difference when in tune is established first , bat that's hard to do without a second exact same model piano or without de tuning it after tuning. it's there from out of tune to tuned but I think my ear picks up on it better if the standard is firmly established, it's easier for musicians vs non musicians in that after a while we tend To be able to recall what intune should sound like from previous repeated exposure, also vocalists and string players and trombone players and to some extent certain woodwinds tend to be better at this because of how they constantly make microadjustments everytime they play [the good ones at least ] great video!

I certainly did and enjoyed your wonderful personality as well as your playing. Your piano does sound really good. Best wishes and enjoy playing - You're worth it! Bye.❤

No doubt, apparently, the strings are in tune after all. In addtion, the part where you record about the felt filing made the hammers softer to hit the strings which my ears don't really hurt by the hard-feeling sounding anymore. Good one.

I did that for eleven years of my life. Love it! :D

your playing always make me felt at ease :))
