s&r | No such thing as a B-sharp (566* d) | RE: No such thing as a B-sharp | 14 Apr 11 |
Pianos have equal temperament, but only to a point. Because the bass strings are rigid and a long way from being an ideal string, the harmonics are sharper than they should be and would clash with the higher strings. In an attempt to correct this, pianos use stretched tuning, ie the low strings are tuned flat, and the high strings are tuned sharp. |
