3 String Resonance

String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos whereby the strings of held notes resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other notes of the same harmonic series.

The CA93/CA63 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the String Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance to be adjusted.

„Demonstrating String Resonance

To experience the string resonance phenomenon, gently hold down the ‘C’ key as shown in the illustration below, then press any of the keys marked with a z symbol. In addition to the sound of each note played, it should also be possible to hear the strings of the first ‘C’ key resonating ‘sympathetically’, thus demonstrating String Resonance.
