Changing The Pitch (Basic Key) Of The Ez-Tp - Yamaha EZ-TP Owner's Manual

Changing the Pitch (Basic Key) of the EZ-TP

The default pitch of the EZ-TP is B b – the same as most trumpets.
This means that if you play a "C" on a piano-pitch score using the EZ-TP, the note
produced will be different from the same note played on the piano. If you set the
pitch of the EZ-TP to "C," however, the notes produced by the EZ-TP and a piano or
other "C" instrument will be the same.
The EZ-TP can be set to the following keys: B b , C, E b , F, Fr1, and Fr2.
NOTE • To change the key of song playback, see page 24.

Since the base pitch of the instrument changes when you
change the key, you will have to change the notes you sing
accordingly.
If you change the key to "F," for example, in order to play
a piano "C" like the one shown here, you'll need to sing an
"F" into the EZ-TP.
To check the base pitch refer to "Check the Pitch Of the B b , C, E b , and F
Keys" on page 18.
The EZ-TP base pitch will be as follows for the various key
settings:
B b : "C" on the EZ-TP will correspond to "B b " on the piano.
C: "C" on the EZ-TP will correspond to "C" on the piano.
E b : "C" on the EZ-TP will correspond to "E b " on the piano.
F: "C" on the EZ-TP will correspond to "F" on the piano.
