We are hitching the string on the piano. The word "String" refers the one with copper winding. Tension on each string or wire is over 80Kg. This high Tension makes each strings and wires stretching. The reason why Brand New piano goes out of tune in fast Basically If you don't tune your piano over 2 year after stabilized. (See how pitch desperatly fall down right after 1st tuning. It happens again if you don't tune your piano atleast once in an year.) Also it effect piano's structual condition badly. For as the string/wire stretching it changes integral tension on the frame There's around 200 strings/wires in the piano. 10Kg tension change on each strings and wires make the soundboard |
