You need a tuning hammer, mutes, and an electronic tuner. Tune each string by adjusting the tuning pins carefully. It's complex; professional tuning is recommended.

Try this: Tools: Piano tuning lever (with a #2 star tip) Electronic tuning app or device Mutes (felt strips or rubber wedges) Understand the Basics: Each note (except the highest ones) has 2–3 strings. You’ll tune one string at a time, muting the others. Tuning Steps: Start with A4 (440 Hz) using the tuner. Tune one string of each note in the middle octave (temperament octave). Use those as reference to tune the rest by ear (octaves, fifths, and fourths). Tune unisons by matching each string of a note to the first. Be Gentle: Small lever turns (less than 1/8) avoid breaking strings or damaging pins. read less
