Why It’s Impossible to Tune a Piano

Pianos can’t be perfectly tuned – it’s a mathematical fact! Tuning a piano is an art of precision and patience. Each string must be adjusted to the exact pitch, yet temperature and humidity fluctuations can shift it out of tune. Additionally, the complexity of the piano’s design—with over 200 strings and intricate mechanics—makes perfect tuning a continuous challenge. Despite the difficulty, skilled tuners bring harmony to these beautiful, dynamic instruments.
