Chapter 8 Changing Various Settings

Adjusting the Standard Pitch (Master Tuning)

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 basic pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “Master Tuning.”
