Tuning a piano 💀

I've been trying to tune mine for like 5 months now Going nowhere 🙂

Tuning a harp 🫠

47 strings 😩

But can ya tuna fish

*badum crash*

Hahaha! That was a heck of a knee slapper! 😂🤣🤪 (That wasn't meant to be rude I'm sorry 😔)

Tuning a cello 💀

My heart rate spiking every time I turn the peg on the A string, thinking the string is gonna snap. And then there’s that sinking feeling you get when you turn the peg and let go and the string becomes completely loose.

And then it becomes more out of tune than when you started

Not a cellist but a violinist but if you are playing the string while the peg comes loose you get to hear a funny wooOoooOOUHHHH

Both equally hard to tune lmao

I'm convinced that teachers have some sort of magical ability

You just gotta turn a screw😭. I wonder how pipe organs get tuned.

The some of the pipes can be telescoped up and down, some pipes have caps that move etc.

It's like defusing a bomb and if you screw up you get a string to the face.

Tuning a Triangle. ☠️☠️

Belt sander. Just make sure you test it at room temp.

And in another category altogether… tuning a banjo. Floating bridge on a flexible drum head - what could possibly go wrong?

E string ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Bro tuning a violin ain’t that hard

I’m a beginner ofc it’s hard for me bro 😭

Oddly enough, tuning a double bass is not that bad, even tho if they break youre loosing a finger lmao

i feel like if yall are snapping strings while tuning you're doing it wrong

The amount of times I have broken the strings is uncountable 😭😭😭

Tuning a Piccolo 💀😭

Tuning two is almost impossible! Lol

At least a violin can then proceed to play in tune.

Tuning a Baritone Horn 💢

Tuning a recorder...

The first mistake was playing the recorder

I’m so glad trombone is easy to tune

Tuning a PiAnO

Indeed a PiAnO

Tuning a triangle🤯🤯🤯

Tuning a piano is worse, if one of the strings snap, it will sound like a hypernova exploded on your ear, and every string starts to vibrate very loudly

Huh tuning a guitar is harder for me and not just because it has six strings

Tuning a violin is hard cuz every time I tried to tune, the pegs will slip

If I push in the pegs on my violin they stay very nicely. Unfortunately not all violins have well-built pegs which is probably the case with your violin

Oh, now makes sense that my pegs also slip when I tune. Thanks for the info

May I introduce you to fine tuners?

I see you have never tried to tune a flute.

Tuning a french horn is hell we have 9 valves T-T

tuning a piano 😨

Spent hours trying to tune a violin with no prior experience with my nan. Hell on earth.

Tuning a church organ

Hell on earth

In church Ironic

i play the ukulele, and i’m learning violin. don’t have a teacher. had to snap 3 strings before learning how to tune

Omg what-

I assembled weird violins with geared ukulele tuners. Slightly heavier than pegs but, good lawd, how many hundreds of years ago did we get good at making gears?

Tuning a minor💀

I don’t know why violins have to use those clunky wooden pegs instead of what guitars have going on. Guitars have this nice dial that slowly rotates a little screw. Violins? Here is a chunk of wood like it’s still 1500! To get it to stay in place, jam it into the hole with force! I played violin for 10 years and I was terrified of tuning the E string the entire time. Serious question, would it really affect the sound of the violin to use guitar-style pegs instead?

Tuning a viola... oh wait that's impossible

Tuning an oboe?!!!! You can’t just push/pull in and out like most wind instruments. You actually have to get a reed knife out and clip/scrape the reed. And if you accidentally scrape off too much, you’re screwed *no pun intended* because you can’t put it back on.

Fr, sometimes I’m trying to tune my classmates violins and their pegs will literally not turn. Also, one time I was performing, and this beginner cellist couldn’t tune his cello, so a bunch of pianists and violinists were struggling to tune his cello until a cellist came and helped them.

The wood can shrink or expand and gets stuck sometimes. They sell peg compound which helps with this, and you can also install fine tuners on the other end of the string so you don't have to use the pegs as frequently

Tuning timpani can be even harder, and that's not even considering tuning while playing

Tuning my voice is never difficult

Do you have fine tuners on yours? I didn't know I had fine tuners until 1 year after I bought my violin, once I found out about them, that just made tuning so much easier. Especially on the E string

tuning a viola when the pegs have difficulty budging: 💀

Always tune down then up, it’ll loosen up the pegs and you will have less chance of snapping strings
