That depends GREATLY upon the instrument being tuned. Wind instruments (flutes, recorders, clarinets oboes, trumpets, horns etc) are tuned by shortening or lengthening tubing lengths, directing the airstream higher or lower, or tightening and loosening the mouth muscles (or embouchure). String instruments (pianos, harps, violins, cellos, Guitars & basses etc) are tuned by tightening or loosening the strings. Harps and pianos require a special key to adjust the tension, whereas most other stringed instruments have tuning pegs which are easy to turn with the fingers. Hope that helps!
