Interesting Piano Facts

How tightly are piano strings strung? The total tension in most modern pianos adds up to between 18 and 20 tons! That's 36,000 to 40,000 pounds!

How many strings does a piano have? Although it varies slightly from one piano to the next, most pianos have around 220 to 230 steel strings. Why not just 88? Because at least two-thirds of the notes actually sound three strings, not just one.

More to come...stay tuned.

Ever seen a painted piano? Not like this, I'll bet! I spotted this in another room while at a job tuning a different piano.
