No out-of-tune piano can really be enjoyed! No piano that is out-of-tune can realize its true potential! A piano that is in tune is a pleasure to hear and a joy to play. Without a proper tuning the finest regulation, repair or rebuilding work cannot be truly appreciated. Tuning a piano is not something that should be approached haphazardly or carelessly but instead should be undertaken with the utmost care and attention to detail. Anyone can turn a knob and read an indicator on a screen however not anyone can utilize innate talent and training to properly discern the correct pitch of a note based on the relationships of the intervals of the piano in question

All tuning is done by ear, and when possible the piano is tuned at A 440 which is concert pitch. Aside from the use of an electronic tuning fork, which has the advantage of never deviating from pitch, all of the intervals of the piano are aurally tuned. When A above middle C is tuned to A440, which is 440 hertz, or cycles per second and the intervals are tuned respective of that the piano is said to be at pitch.
