CyberTuner – The $999 iOS Piano Tuning App That's Well Used Amongst Technicians

Nice catch. Edited the title. Maybe not equally mind blowing, but still pretty inspiring to such that so many technicians rely on it and love it so fondly.

Especially the reviewer who mentioned him using an old version of the software running on a PocketPC until it got released on iOS.

Disclaimer: I don't tune/play the piano, just heard from a friend who had a technician at home that used some expensive software on their iPad tune it.

A physical guitar tuner is pretty cheap, so yeah that does seem strange.

Counter point though - not all tuning is equal. e.g.

Church organs. At the churches I used to attend this was considered a legit risk factor - the people capable of tuning an organ are old, scare, dying & not keen on traveling. What are we gonna do when X dies was a real issue.
