The piano must be tuned to relative pitch intervals based on upper partials (harmonics) of the strings, not just fundamental pitches. If A (49th key from the bottom) is accurately set at 440 Hrz, then middle C is not exactly the same "C" that the guitar-type tuner calls "middle C" Even setting that first A440 can actually be done by ear (beat matching, NOT pitch matching) more accurately than by matching a swinging needle. You can invest in a Verituner, Accu-Tuner, or a computer with TuneLab or Cybertuner Software, etc., and-yes-they will compute and store a good tuning for your instrument. But that's a lot of bucks for something that is not a money-making business investment! All you really need, besides instruction and much practice, is one tuning fork (A440 unless you are reading an old book calling for a C fork), your wedge mutes, your tuning hammer (should be called a wrench but isn't, just to confuse the public), and maybe your felt strip (optional, helpful in learning). I'd put the tuner back in the guitar case. By the way, your hammer will not be as easy to use as one that is less flexible (more expensive). By the way, it looks like your piano needs some dental work--ask your tuner about some replacement ivories or a whole new set of shiny keytops. BTW, sunlight bleaches ivory; it gets yellow in the dark. So leave your fallboard open for a few decades to get that like-new look back. Just kidding. They can be bleached with Peroxide-not the kind in your bathroom, the kind that hairdressers use (careful, it's dangerous). Have fun.
