Tuning - Tumblr Posts
"Very gradually, like one instrument after another being tentatively rehearsed, beacons of color began to pierce the sky."
John Knowles, "A Separate Peace"
did you know that every piano is slightly out of tune?
modern pianos are tuned according to equal temperament- the octave is divided equally into 12 semitones. this allows for notes to sound roughly 'in tune' regardless of the key, however the ratios between note frequencies are not harmonic meaning that technically they are out of tune.
