Tuning Settings

Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)

When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument.

The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger the middle A key. For a cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument’s standard pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “Tuning.”

Master tuning value

 

 

15.3–40.0–66.2

415.3 Hz – 440.0 Hz – 466.2 Hz

 

 

When the instrument is shipped from the factory, this is set to “440.0 Hz.”

Using a Piano’s Unique Tuning (Stretch Tuning)

Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and the high range is sharper than equal tempered pitches. This method of tuning is unique to the piano, and is known as “stretched tuning.”

Description

 

 

 

This tuning curve expands the bass and treble ends

On

somewhat. It is suitable for performances such as

 

piano solos.

 

 

 

This is the standard tuning curve. This is suitable for

OFF

when using Dual play (p. 31) or when playing in an

 

ensemble with other instruments.

 

 

Adjusting the Tuning (Temperament)

You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using their original tuning.

Most modern songs are composed and played with the assumption that equal temperament (the most common tuning in use today) will be used, but when classical music was composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended.

Temperament

Qualities

 

 

 

 

 

In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve

1

Equal

equal steps. Every interval produces about the

 

 

same amount of slight dissonance.

 

 

 

 

 

This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the fifths

2

Just (Major)

and thirds. It is unsuited to playing melodies and

cannot be transposed, but is capable of

 

 

 

 

beautiful sonorities.

 

 

 

 

 

The Just tunings differ from major and minor

3

Just (Minor)

keys. You can get the same effect with the minor

 

 

scale as with the major scale.

 

 

 

4

Arabic

This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.

 

 

 

 

 

This is an improvement of the Meantone and

5

Kirnberger

Just tunings that provides a high degree of

freedom of modulation. Performances are

 

 

 

 

possible in all keys (III).

 

 

 

6

Meantone

This scale makes some compromises in just

intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This tuning, devised by the philosopher

7

Pythagorean

Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths

and fifths. Dissonance is produced by third-

 

 

 

 

interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.

 

 

 

 

 

This temperament combines the Meantone and

8

Werckmeister

Pythagorean tunings. Performances are

 

 

possible in all keys (first technique, III).

 

 

 

Specifying the Temperament Key

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key for tuning the song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a minor key). If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a temperament key.
