Why Does a Piano Goes Out of Tune ?

 Piano strings are under a great deal of tension that is supported by the frame, plate, pinblock, tuning pins, bridges and soundboard. Anything that affects the position of any of these parts will cause a change in tension and make the piano go out of tune.         Playing :  The louder and more often you play a piano, the faster it goes out of tune by a small amount. This is due to equalization of tension along the length of the strings. The better you "set the strings" during tuning, less this happens. (Arthur A. Reblitz)

The piano, also known as the "pianoforte", was invented in Italy ( Bartolomeo Cristofori ) in 1709. An extremely versatile instrument, the piano keyboard spans seven and a half octaves. The two most common types of pianos are the Grand piano and the Upright piano. Probably the most well-known maker of pianos is Steinway & Sons.
