Different question....????

I am looking for software to tune my accoustic piano. I have found free software that does that for guitars but, obviously, doesn't go low enough or high enough in frequencies to do my piano. The same holds true for my son's electronic guitar tuner. If anyone knows of "open source" software (preferably Visual C++ / MFC) that for guitars that I could mofify to extend wide enough to do pianos would be greatly appreciated. If I am able to convert it into a useful application, I will gladly post it here. Thank you in advance Pierre

have you looked at basic MIDI sequencers ? ex: Jazz++

I don't know if I understand your reply Chris. What would a MIDI sequencer do for me and my non-electronic accoustic piano? I need something similar to an electronic guitar tuner with a built-in microphone. I tried my son's and it worked fine but only in the middle range of the piano where the guitar falls in. As I mentioned previously, I recently found some free software on the internet that you can plug a guitar (or microphone) into the sound card of your computer and tune that way. That software had two problems. 1) It was designed for guitars so it had the same issue as my son's electonic tuner. 2) It was the executable only so I couldn't modify it to extend its range over the entire 88 keys of the piano.

Google ( with "open source guitar tuner" ) returned one hit on sourceforge. I assume that for a software solution to work you will need a good microphone and a good soundcard to convert to a good useable frequence.

sorry, i didn't see where you mentioned plugging anything into the sound card... i thought you were doing it by ear.

If you have a good enough ear to tune a piano then all you need to do is tune an octave somewhere in the middle (and a guitar tuner could help with that) and then tune the other octaves from that. If your ear isn't good enough to do that then your results would be pretty poor anyway, even if you can get the frequencies correct. There's a lot more to piano tuning than just getting a string to sound the right frequency.
