Piano Tuning Kit, CUGLB Professional Piano Tuner Kit Including Tuning Wrench Hammer, Temperament Strip, Mute Set, DIY Fixing Set (8 pcs in Pack)

As someone who wanted this only for my own personal piano, this is perfect. If I were tuning frequently I might spend a little extra on a longer tuning hammer, but for personal use this does the job.

The tuning lever is really short which makes it harder to adjust the tuning pegs and I found it to be particularly challenging when tuning an old Baldwin grand where one key had a sticky pin and I really couldn't get the unison tuned as well as I would like. The temperament strips included with this kit are a bit on the thick side and you should toss them in with the wash several times before you use them. Because of how I tune, I don't use the temperament strips. I found the 6 rubber mutes to be pretty decent. 4 are just wedges but two are on wire shafts. However, depending on your level of aural perception training, you might be better off with felt wedges as a beginner. And, TBH, I tuned two pianos with the included lever before buying an apprentice grade one with a star socket for around $70. Still, the one with this kit will stay in my bag in case I ever run into a piano with pins too large for a #2 socket because it is pretty sloppy on a modern standard 7mm pin. Not so bad you'll round the pins because it is a square socket but still... If you just want to tune your own piano, this kit will help you get the job done and get you close enough for jazz. But I am trying to do it as a side gig and the lever in this kit just doesn't cut it.

I'm a musician, but have no experience tuning a piano. I was able to tune my piano using these tools. I think the only quibble I have is that the tuning hammer is a little too short, would be easier to get more torque if it was a bit longer. Regardless, it works, I just had to put a little more effort in.

I watched some YouTube videos about how to tune pianos and was inspired to give it a try but I did not want to invest too much into it. I was pleasantly surprised with these tools. They are sturdy and do the job. I was able to tune a full-size upright piano that is over 100 years old.

Middle F and F# were super out of tune, took me like 5 minutes to fix. Everything else sounds great, now I just need to set aside a day to tune the rest relative to those lmao. Honestly, I respect how much work it takes professional tuners to do that and how much you have to learn, but for those of us just playing for fun (and those who like that bit of detune on your piano, I know I do. It's way better than (some) vst pianos.) this is brilliant. I'm no professional pianist by any means, but this is a handy tool to have regardless.

This is a nice set, and I would have given it 5 stars but the tuning wrench is pretty difficult to use. While it fits the nuts on the piano nicely and is a usable tool to tune the piano, in practice it's very difficult. Because the handle on the wrench is short, you have very little leverage and it's hard to get the string tuned exactly where you want it. I'd definitely recommend finding a tuning set where the handle is a bit longer.

This did what it was meant to do, at the absolute lowest price possible. It came with everything I needed to tune my childhood upright piano, and I was able to successfully use it. I enjoyed using the rubber mutes and temperament tape and those all worked well. I liked that the mutes came in two sizes—the smaller ones on sticks, and the larger ones without. However, I agree with the other reviewers that the tuning hammer is way too short, and the head is a bit too loose, so it was difficult to use, especially since my piano hadn't been tuned in almost 20 years so the pins were pretty stiff. It required a ridiculous amount of force because of how short it was, and probably made it harder to be precise than it should have.

Got this for my son as we had two pianos that were out of tune. He had helped tune up a piano at school and found the work easy. With this kit he got both our pianos tuned. He has tuned at least 3 others that I know of (for friends).

Tuned the piano for the first time. This worked great. Used a cell phone tuner app and these tools. Completed in under 2 hours.
