Organ Tuner for Pc

I've used an awful lot of dedicated tuning gear and just about every app. If you tune organs professionally, this app will pay for itself very promptly.

this app is invaluable for both normal tuning of finished pipe organs as well as pre-voicing and cutting new pipes to pitch in the voicing room. There are special features that support both usage modes. I have used previous PC versions of this app in shop voicing situations. The key iPhone version advantage is its portability when tuning installed organs. I use a velcro carrier strap and wear the tuner on my wrist when tuning in cramped spaces. The this app is more accurate than one hears in aural tuning. Tuners experience 'dead bands' when pipes sound in tune but are still marginally out. The this app's two displays indicates out of tuneness even after it is heard in tune giving a very solid tuning. My fall tunings tested the iPhone tuner in many situations. Testing included temperature compensation, equal and well-temperaments, single pipe and compound stop tuning, harmonic (mutation) stops, and auto note change. The auto note changing will jump up or down up to four half tones for tuning major third chests. The auto note changing worked in all conditions except for tuning some mixtures where the multiple pitches and harmonics caused some false switching. This was remidied by changing notes manually. In many situations stopping off the mixture pipes was not necessary and tuning could be easily accomplished by switching the partials of the given note. In shop pre-voicing of pipes the Pipe this app is invaluable due to the high digital accuracy of pitch measurement. I use a spread sheet to take the pipe length and measured cents flat to calculate the amount of pipe length to cut off. The this app measurement is so accurate that usually only one or two cutoffs are necessary rather than multiple times with a more conservative triming by ear. High pitches up to the top C of a 61 note 2' stop (8000 Hz) are easily measured. The unique features for the pipe the app make the this app an essential tool for my tonal and tuning methodology.
