Tuning
Tuning makes it possible to adjust the pitch of the Clavinova over a 427.0 Hz
… 453.0 Hz (corresponding to the A3 note’s Hz) range in approximately 0.2
Hertz intervals. Pitch control is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other
instruments or recorded music.
Tuning Up...............................................................................................................
ZTo tune up (raise pitch), hold the A-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously.
XPress any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is
pressed the pitch is increased by approximately 0.2 Hz.
The [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons can also be used to tune down or up,
respectively, in 1 Hz increments. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons
simultaneously to recall standard tuning (A3 = 440 Hz).
CRelease the A-1 and B-1 keys.
Tuning Down.......................................................................................................
ZTo tune down (lower pitch), hold the A-1 and A#-1 keys simulta-
neously.
XPress any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is
pressed the pitch is decreased by approximately 0.2 Hz.
The [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons can also be used to tune down or up,
respectively, in 1 Hz increments. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons
simultaneously to recall standard tuning (A3 = 440 Hz).
CRelease the A-1 and A#-1 keys.
To Restore Standard Pitch...................................................................
ZTo restore the default pitch (A3 = 440 Hz), hold the A-1, A#-1 and
B-1 keys simultaneously.
XPress any key between C3 and B3.
CRelease the A-1, A#-1 and B-1 keys.

In terms of “Hertz”, the overall tuning range is from 427.0 Hz to 453.0
Hz. The current tuning setting is shown on the LED display while the tuning
is being adjusted. Tenths of a Hertz are indicated on the LED display by the
appearance and position of one or two dots, as in the following example:
• An alternative tuning method is available in the Function mode — page 23.
• The keyboard method of pitch control, described above, has no effect when
LOCAL OFF is active (see “MIDI FUNCTIONS,” page 28).
