Some Information About the Master Tune
Pianos are generally tuned to an A 440 pitch standard
that was adopted during the early 1900s in response to
widely varying standards. Previously the pitch standards
had gradually risen from about A 415 during the late
1700s and early 1800s to A 435 during the late 1800s.
Though A 440 is generally the standard, some orchestras,
particularly in Europe, use a higher pitch standard, such
as A 444.

Explanation
Select the desiderate tuning
Use the "440.00 Hz" and "442.00
Hz" Function buttons to tuning the
instrument at those values.
 TEMPERAMENT
The modern pianos are tuning in Equal Stretch temperament,
in which every pair of adjacent pitches is separated by the same
interval.
There are other scale used in different music style. Modern musical
scale in western culture are different in one other way from older
classic music. At the time of Bach the scales were based on the note
A being about 415 Hz. In the Handel's time the frequency A was
422.5 Hz and today it is 440.0 Hz.

TUNING
Explanation
This tuning divides each octave into 12
equal steps (intervals).
This tuning is a correction of Equal Flat.
A benefit of stretching octaves is the
correction of dissonance that equal
temperament imparts to the perfect
fifth.
This tuning is similar to the Equal
Scretch with small adjustments to make
it more suitable for piano sounds.
This tuning is the default for many of
today's Baroque musicians.
This is a just scale for pieces in mayor
keys.
This system was invented in ancient
Greece. It resolves the ambiguity of
fourths and fifths. Though thirds are
somewhat imperfect, melodies sound
clearer.
A temperament that adds some
compromises to the just temperament
and facilitates transposition.
A combination of the Mean Tone and
Pythagorean temperaments, this tuning
allows for playing in any key.
As a result of improvements made to
the Mean Tone and Just temperaments,
this tuning system is relatively tolerant
towards transposition and can be used
to play in all keys.
User 1, User 2, User 3: These
settings refer to the tuning systems
programmed by yourself (or someone
else).
