Pianos Inside Out takes an in-depth look at the history, design, and maintenance of the piano, and provides practical guidance to anyone who wants to learn how to improve action performance, or tune, repair, regulate, voice, or rebuild pianos. Covering a wide range of topics, from introductory to advanced, the book puts between two covers all the advancements and understanding gained by the piano industry over the last 30 years, to provide a unified and coherent view of that much-needed information, from coincident partial tuning and interval inharmonicity, to touchweight analysis, string leveling, and the different types of modern lubricants. Although written for hobbyists, students, and piano technicians, Pianos Inside Out will also help pianists and owners of pianos to better understand their instruments and to communicate more effectively with their technicians. The book is full of clear, concise, step-by-step instructions, and more than 700 illustrations and diagrams.

The subject of this book is tuning theory and the integration of aural and electronic tuning techniques. All of the information presented will be analyzed from both aural and electronic perspectives, so that every technique used aurally will have an electronic equivalent, and every technique used electronically will have its aural test. The information is equally helpful for those who tune strictly by ear or exclusively with an electronic aid, and provides a firm understanding of the equivalent tests and procedures from both worlds for the growing number of tuners that use both their ears and an electronic aid.
