Piano tuning, as the pivotal element in piano maintenance and performance quality assurance, encompasses intricate principles of physical acoustics, detailed craftsmanship, and artistic expression. With the evolution of the music industry, piano tuning techniques have continuously advanced, from early manual methods to contemporary electronic tuning devices, marking significant progress. Yet, despite these technological advancements, the essence of tuning remains the precise control of pitch, tone, and volume. Understanding the theoretical foundations, historical development, and practical methods of piano tuning is essential knowledge for both professional tuners and music enthusiasts. This article aims to systematically elucidate the theory and practice of piano tuning, providing comprehensive guidance on tuning through an analysis of acoustic principles, piano structure, tuning systems, and specific techniques, while exploring the subtle interplay between tuning technology and artistry.
