Pitch Control; Tuning Up; Tuning Down; To Restore Standard Pitch - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-153SG Owner's Manual

Pitch Control

Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a 50-cent range in approximately
1.2-cent intervals. A hundred "cents" equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows
fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for
tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.
