Fluid tuning is a Musical tuningtuning system for the piano and hammered dulcimer . It was developed by Geoff Smith British musician Geoff Smith , a composer and musician from Brighton , England . Fluid tuning is accomplished by the addition of the microtonal tuning mechanism to the instrument. This mechanism enables the musician to alter each musical note note individually and separately by precise microtonal interval music intervals . With this design modification, the musician can choose either to leave the piano in fixed tuning , or to use the mechanism to retune any number of notes microtonally to any desired combination. The modification, therefore, allows a number of tuning layouts to be created and explored per composition, in contrast to the instrument being creatively limited to fixed tuning which is typically the culturally predominant Western world Western Chromatic scale chromatic octave . The microtonal tuning mechanism consists of a sliding bridge, a groove and buffers fitted to each note of the instrument. The bridge is in constant contact with the strings. If the musician slides the bridge along the groove to any point between the buffers, a precise microtonal interval change results.

Image TuningWrench.jpg thumb T shaped tuning wrench A tuning wrench also called a tuning lever or tuning hammer is a specialized socket wrench used to tune string instrument s such as the piano , harp , and hammer dulcimer , that have strings wrapped around tuning pins with square heads. Other string instruments do not require a tuning wrench because their tuning pins or pegs come with handles as with the violin , or geared tuning machines as with the guitar or banjo . Tuning wrench sockets may be square shaped or 8 pointed star shaped, and are found in two basic sizes a large size for pianos, and a smaller size for most other instruments. For pianos, there are some gradations of size, and several lengths are generally available, and unlike machine screw sockets which have no taper, piano sockets have a slight taper, to fit tapered tuning pins. Tuning wrench sockets are often attached snugly to the handle with fine gauge machine screw threads, to provide a very firm, immobile joint this is contrast to the square snap on joints found in sockets used for machinery. Unlike most socket wrenches, tuning wrenches usually have a comfortable wood or nylon handle. They are found in two basic shapes L shaped and T shaped. L shaped handles for pianos are available in several angles that are not quite right angles, provide greater leverage than T shaped handles, and the angle provides clearance for the handle over adjacent pins, allowing a very short and stiff socket to be used. A short, stiff socket enables a better feel and control of the tiny movements of the tuning pin, within the pin block. A T shaped handle helps keep torque parallel to the shaft of the bolt. Some musicians feel that torque in other directions risks widening the hole around the bolt holding the string. External ...

For Tuning disambiguation Adjustment disambiguation Adjustment Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In theoretical physics , fine tuning refers to circumstances when the parameters of a model must be adjusted very precisely in order to agree with observations. Theories requiring fine tuning are regarded as problematic in the absence of a known mechanism to explain why the parameters happen to have precisely the needed values. Explanations often invoked to resolve fine tuning problems include natural mechanisms by which the values of the parameters may be constrained to their observed values, and the anthropic principle . The necessity of fine tuning leads to various problems that do not show that the theories are incorrect, in the sense of falsifying observations, but nevertheless suggest that a piece of the story is missing. For example, the cosmological constant problem why is the cosmological constant so small? the hierarchy problem the strong CP problem , and others. An example of a fine tuning problem considered by the scientific community to have a plausible natural solution is the cosmological flatness problem , which is solved if inflationary theory is correct inflation forces the universe to become very flat, answering the question of why the universe is today observed to be flat to such a high degree.

Today, the term chip tuning can be misleading, as people will often use it to describe ECU tuning that does not involve swapping the chip.
