A Note About “Stretch Tuning”
To achieve a natural acoustic sound, modern acoustic pianos commonly use
a modification of equal temperament called
stretch tuning . In stretch
tuning, the bass region is tuned flatter than with equal tuning, while the
treble is tuned sharper. To more accurately reproduce the true piano
experience, your digital piano uses stretch tuning with all of the six piano
sounds shown in the table below.
