	Piano Tuning and Maintenance Guide
		So it is usual for pianists who are concerned with keeping their instrument in relative tune to have the piano tuned twice a year, first when in spring the air becomes more humid, and again in the fall when the effect of a heating system starts to shrink wood parts.
		The characteristic sound of the "piano" is the result of many interlocking factors relating to the length and thickness of the individual strings, the impedance matching of the soundboard, and the "in-harmonicity" of the piano considered as a whole, since multiple modes are involved across the spectrum of the traditional 88 notes.
		Piano technicians who do tuning listen to these beats, not to the pitches the way musicians do, and base their tuning on their sense of the proper beat/ratios for each note being tuned.
