 What does 'Fine tune' mean?
Author: stevensfo

Recent posts have reminded me of a question that I've been meaning to ask for some time. I often see this phrase used but I admit that I'm not sure what it means.

I first assumed that it meant fine filing of the tone holes to obtain a perfect pitch, but sometimes the context leads me to believe that it refers to a general check of the instrument, oiling of pivots and checks for leaks etc.

So what does 'Fine tuning' actually mean?
