Tuning to Other Instruments’ Pitches (Master Tune)

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. In general, the tuning of an instrument is indicated by the pitch in Hertz (Hz) of the middle “A” note.

This matching of other instruments’ basic reference pitches is called “tuning.”

When the instrument is turned on, the standard pitch is set to “440.0 Hz.”
