Summary "Piano Tuning: A Simple and Accurate Method for Amateurs" by J. Cree Fischer is a practical instructional manual written in the early 20th century. This guide aims to equip amateur pianists and budding tuners with the knowledge and skills needed for piano tuning, focusing on the foundational principles of the craft. Emphasizing the increasing demand for skilled tuners amidst the booming popularity of pianos, it serves as both a self-learning tool and a textbook for those pursuing this profession. The opening of the book provides a preface that sets the stage for the importance of piano tuning in the context of both personal enjoyment and professional opportunity. The author reflects on the lack of competent tuners despite a wealth of pianos in homes, explaining his intention to address this gap through a comprehensive instructional course. Fischer outlines the essential qualifications needed for aspiring tuners, such as having a good musical ear and mechanical aptitude, and introduces the structure of the lessons to follow, which will encompass everything from the anatomy and history of the piano to the intricate details of tuning techniques and methodologies. The tone is informative and encouraging, inviting readers to embark on this rewarding journey in piano tuning. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
