A complete piano tuning starter kit built around the Classic Rosewood Piano Tuning Lever, paired with the most commonly used piano mutes and an A-440 tuning fork for traditional pitch reference. This kit is designed for piano owners, apprentice tuners, music teachers, and technicians who want a solid, professional-feeling setup without piecing together tools individually.

Unlike entry-level kits that use lightweight tuning levers and minimal accessories, this set includes a rigid steel-shaft rosewood tuning lever along with the essential muting tools used during real tuning work on upright and grand pianos.

What's Included

  • Classical Rosewood Piano Tuning Lever: 11-1/2" overall length with 8" rosewood handle, chrome-plated steel shaft, 1-1/4" head at 5-degree angle, #2 star tip.
  • Wittner A-440 Tuning Fork: steel, standard concert pitch reference for A above middle C. The anchor pitch from which all other notes are tuned.
  • Red Felt Temperament Strip: used to mute the outer strings of each unison group across the middle octaves, allowing you to tune the center string of each note first before adding the outer strings. Essential for efficient, accurate tuning.
  • 6 Natural Rubber Mutes (3 sizes, 2 of each): all cut from durable natural rubber, not synthetics or plastics:
    • 3" x 3/8" rubber mutes with handles (qty 2) — for spacing between strings in standard unison groups
    • 2-9/16" x 1/4" rubber mutes (qty 2) — for tighter spacing in treble sections
    • 4-1/4" x 1/2" rubber mutes (qty 2) — for wider spacing in bass and tenor sections

Who This Piano Tuning Kit Is For

  • Piano owners learning to tune their own piano
  • Music teachers maintaining studio instruments
  • Apprentice tuners building a first serious toolkit
  • Buyers upgrading from entry-level Amazon-style kits
  • Schools, churches, and rehearsal spaces handling basic maintenance

If you want a piano tuning kit that feels like real equipment — not a disposable starter set — this is the right step up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this kit work on both upright and grand pianos?

Yes. The classical rosewood lever and all three mute sizes work on both upright and grand acoustic pianos. The 5-degree head angle and #2 star tip fit tuning pins on virtually all modern acoustic pianos regardless of manufacturer. The three mute sizes cover the range of string spacings found across both piano types.

What is a temperament strip and how is it used?

A temperament strip is a long piece of felt that mutes the outer two strings of each unison group across the middle octaves of the piano, leaving only the center string exposed. This allows you to tune every center string through the temperament range in a single pass — establishing the harmonic foundation of the tuning — before going back to add in the outer strings. It significantly speeds up the tuning process compared to using individual wedge mutes on every unison group.

Why natural rubber mutes instead of synthetic?

Natural rubber holds its shape and grip longer than synthetic alternatives, which tend to stiffen and lose their wedging ability over time. The mutes in this kit are cut from the same natural rubber used by professional technicians — correctly tapered to sit cleanly between strings without slipping or marking the strings. They cost more to produce than synthetic mutes, but they perform more reliably over years of use.

Does this kit include everything I need to tune my piano?

This kit contains the core tools required for standard piano tuning: a tuning lever, reference pitch (A-440 tuning fork), mutes for isolating individual strings, and a temperament strip for efficient unison work. What it does not include is a digital tuning device or tuning app — many tuners use a phone app for additional pitch reference, which you can add separately. The tools in this kit are what a professional tuner would carry for a standard tuning session.
