If at least one of the three strings (for each note)
is still in tune, it is easy to tune the other two; and, with constant
attention, at least one of three will be in tune still. In some cases,
one's hearing is so bad up there that one does not notice the difficulty.
Most pianos should be tuned once a week and, conceivably, before every
use. In my experience, and I have very bad hearing (so where do I get
off making theoretical remarks about popular music most of which
(remarks) I am passing along from experts), most pianos are noticeably
badly tuned, which does not take very good hearing to observe as the
beats are quite audible. (Nevertheless, I prefer a slightly out of tune
acoustic piano-forte to the electric kind, which is what I can afford to
play nowadays.
