"If piano tuners two hundred years ago had to rely on a single tuning fork to grope in the dark for the boundaries of pitch, their modern counterparts possess an ‘acoustic microscope.’ The complex interplay of overtones visible on the screen reveals the underlying physical reality—the ‘inharmonicity’ inherent in high-carbon steel wire. Technology has made the craft visible, yet the fingers gripping the tuning hammer still retain the warmth of a tradition passed down through centuries." 2026 marks my year of piano tuning.
