Pipe Organ Tuning
This article describes the process and techniques involved in the tuning of a pipe organ. Electronic organs typically do not require tuning.
A pipe organ produces sound via hundreds or thousands of organ pipes, each of which produces a single pitch and timbre. The goal of tuning a pipe organ is to adjust the pitch of each pipe so that they all sound in tune with each other.
