I have been looking for a piano tuning kit for quite some time now, and ive wondered, whats the hammer for?

The hammer is really the wrench. You do not hit anything with it, you turn the tuning pins. BUT you don't just torque on it like a regular wrench. There area some pretty good videos out there showing the proper techniques for use, though if you really want to be a pro tuner you'll need more extensive training.

The "hammer" is essentially a weighted wrench. It basically tunes the strings. You place the wrench mouth on a string peg, play the chord and gently tap (or push earnestly) to tune the string to the correct key. This is also done with some sort of digital tuner for best results. You cannot just use the tuning bar that comes with it. Hope this helps.

I am not certain, but I have had an issue with the sound of the piano as it fades out. The sound becomes very sharp no matter what "voice" I use. It is really irritating and I haven't gotten responses from Korg after several emails to them.

This tuner has a mic for acoustic instruments, so I assume a piano could be tuned with it.

I use mine on guitars and a 5 string banjo which tune to different notes than a guitar. I haven't tried it on other instruments but it should work just fine so long as you are within its upper and lower frequency limits. For example it might not read the highest piano key or the lowest but within its range it would do just fine. It works by picking up vibrations from whatever it is clamped on. It, of course, has no idea where the vibrations come from just that there are vibrations and it will tell you what note they are and how far off you are from the nearest musical note.

I completely agree with Zantigar's answer. Most professionals use the tuner for middle C, then tune the rest of the piano by ear using intervals (e.g., fourths, fifths, and octaves). I'm not a pro and I use the tuner to tune the middle two octaves, then I tune the rest by ear using intervals. I recommend you get a book on piano tuning (I use "Piano Tuning and Repair" by Ralph Higgins on my Kindle, but it doesn't seem to be currently available). Another option is to search for some tutorials on the Web and YouTube.

This tuner will inform you as to what note it "hears" when you strike a piano key.

It is awesome. Just hit the grand piano button and it sounds just like the best piano. I love mine.

I think it is the Octave with Middle C. I could be wrong. I tune mine with the standard GCEA combo on the piano. Don't know if that helps at all, but that's my guess. You can tune it up and down if you want as well...

As DS-1H is Korg, it should work without any extra configuration. I have a different model of keyboard, but I think, your piano must have a Global settings or something similar. There you can find the damper pedal configuration. Select the right polarity to have the correct response. I hope it helps.

I don't know. I had to order several harp tuning tools until I found one that would fit my harp. Is it possible for you to return the tools that don't fit. Could you speak with the manufacturer of the harp to find out what size tuning tool would fit your harp? That's all I can suggest. I'm sorry.

The hammer would have to be tiny and there wouldn't be much sound. It's best played by plucking or picking.

It is a play piano. each key is a different note but not exactly in tune and no way to tune it. It is a little fragile but looks nice and is a neat toy

according to their web site the SP-20 pedal is an accessory for the wk200: http://www.casio.com/products/Digital_Pianos_%26_Keyboards/Workstation_Keyboards/WK-200/?acc=Pedals#accessories_table

It is "music wire" and should be fine on a piano for the higher notes that do not have wrapped strings. It should also be fine for multiple string notes as long as the wire diameter is correct.

It appears the StroboPlus HD tuner may be used to tune an acoustic piano. It has a built in microphone. It's range is 16Hz to 8000Hz, which is greater than the range of the piano which is 27.5Hz (A0) to 4186Hz (C8).Under a small section on piano tuning the manual states: " Do not attempt without having basic tuning skills and technique. Learn the correct use of mutes and a tuning hammer before attempting to tune your piano, if in doubt, consult a qualified piano technician."

It is a rather loud tick and has two pitches in case your hearing is better at high or low frequencies. I never have a problem with the piano using the lower pitch frequency.

I don't know but I think it has a guarantee. Amazon would probably stand behind it. For tuning, I used "peg oil" which seems to keep the keys in tune.
