5 results about "Piano tuning" patented technology

Piano tuning is the act of adjusting the tension of the strings of an acoustic piano so that the musical intervals between strings are in tune. The meaning of the term 'in tune', in the context of piano tuning, is not simply a particular fixed set of pitches. Fine piano tuning requires an assessment of the vibration interaction among notes, which is different for every piano, thus in practice requiring slightly different pitches from any theoretical standard. Pianos are usually tuned to a modified version of the system called equal temperament. (See Piano key frequencies for the theoretical piano tuning.)

Piano tuning device

The utility model discloses a piano tuning device, which comprises a shell and a sound pick-up, and can accurately identify the deviation between the current intonation state of the piano and the preset standard intonation by using the sound pick-up to capture sound signals sent by the piano and accurately analyzing the sound signals through a controller. Therefore, a user can control the motor conveniently, it is ensured that each string can reach the ideal vibration frequency, and then the tuning efficiency of the piano is improved. A user can flexibly select a proper adjusting head according to the size and the shape of a piano tuning peg nail, a proper adjusting assembly is easily rotated by sliding a T-shaped sliding block on a shell cover, in addition, the tedious process of traditional manual tuning is simplified through a motor-driven adjusting mode, and the operation difficulty is reduced; and through the design of the anti-falling unit, the phenomena of thread falling and slipping between the adjusting head and the threaded rod on the connecting seat in the adjusting process are effectively avoided, and the stability and the reliability in the adjusting process are ensured.

Piano tuning auxiliary positioning system

InactiveCN121747489AStringed musical instrumentsPiano tuningControl engineering
The invention discloses a piano tuning auxiliary positioning system, belongs to the technical field of musical instrument tuning, and aims to solve the problem of positioning deviation caused by neglecting string tension dynamic evolution and environmental disturbance in the prior art. The system comprises a tuning peg state sensing module, a string tension evolution monitoring module, a central cooperative controller, a man-machine interaction guide module and an audio feedback verification module. Through fusion of triple information of tuning peg angular displacement, tension steady state discrimination and acoustic frequency feedback, staged accurate guidance and dynamic decision are realized. The system rapidly approaches the target in the coarse tuning stage, premature termination is avoided in the fine tuning stage according to the tension steady state, the tuning accuracy is ensured through audio closed-loop verification, and the tuning precision, efficiency and robustness are remarkably improved.
