Summary The problem with the piano is it has too many strings. You can perfectly tune a few strings like neighboring strings or strings separated by octaves. But that creates a problem for all the other strings. Henry explains the physics. Yes, its all about physics. The usual work around is to use a technique called equal tempered tuning that leaves all the strings just slightly and equally out of tune with all the others. You'll get used to it.
