String Resonance

String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos whereby the strings of held notes resonate
'sympathetically' with other notes of the same harmonic series.
The CE220 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the String Resonance setting allowing the volume of this
resonance to be adjusted.
