Some yahoo tuning up the church pipe organ and it's giving me
a headache. I hope they are through soon. I thought they
would use a computer to tune the organ since it runs on a
computerized circut. Pianos are different. If you tune one of
them you can use a gizmo that picks out different strings and
take a tuner and tune it. Simple! Still you can drive someone
crazy while doing it.

Hi Judy,

Proper tuning of a piano takes much more than using an electronic tuner. If one were to tune every string on the piano to exact pitch, it would sound horrible. A good piano technician/tuner will impart subtle characteristics to the tuning of every piano string, ergo, a couple of cents - plus/minus off in the tuning. A real pipe organ is tuned the old-fashioned way - the only way - by ear.

Cheers,

Corno Dolce

Corno, I would tune a piano the old fashened way by ear. All you need
is the perfect pitch in your ear.
