Beginner Piano Tuning Kit – Star Tip Hammer, Mutes & Temperament Strip

Our Beginner Piano Tuning Kit is a budget-friendly set that includes the essential piano tuning tools you need for DIY piano tuning at home. Ideal for beginners, hobbyists, or as a backup for professionals, this kit comes with a durable star-tip tuning hammer, four of the most popular rubber mutes, and a red wool felt temperament strip.

Why a star tip tuning hammer?

While tuning pins have a square head, you will want a tuning lever with a star shape design, as it allows you to reach the square pins from different angles. 

 

What’s included:

• Star-shaped tuning hammer – Fits most standard upright and grand piano tuning pins, providing a secure grip
• 4 rubber mutes – The most commonly used types for effective string isolation (2 rubber mutes with wire handles, 2 wedge-style rubber mutes)
• Red felt temperament strip – Long enough to mute entire sections of unison strings

 

Key Features:

• Star-shaped tuning tip grips pins securely
• Chrome-plated steel shaft
• Lightweight hammer with comfortable wooden handle
• Easy-to-use mutes and strip for accurate adjustments
• Ideal for DIY tuning, hobbyists, or as a backup kit
