Adjusting the Tuning (Temperament) You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using their original tuning. Most modern songs are composed and played with the assumption that equal temperament (the most common tuning in use today) will be used, but when classical music was composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended. Volume of Tone 1 Setting Volume of Tone 2 9-1 (tone 1 is louder)­9-9 (same volume)­1-9 (tone 2 is louder) Temperament Temperament key Tuning Settings Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning) When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument. The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that's played when you finger the middle A key. For a cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument's standard pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called "Tuning. " Setting 15. 3­40. 0­66. 2 Master tuning value 415. 3 Hz ­ 440. 0 Hz ­ 466. 2 Hz Setting 1 Temperament Qualities Equal In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities. You can get the same effect with the minor scale as with the major scale. This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation. This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys. This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced by thirdinterval chords, but melodies are euphonious. Performances are possible in all keys (first technique, III). 2 Just (Major) 3 4 Just (Minor) Arabic 5 Kirnberger 6 Meantone 7 Pythagorean When the instrument is shipped from the factory, this is set to "440. 0 Hz. " 8 Werckmeister Using a Piano's Unique Tuning (Stretch Tuning) Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and the high range is sharper than equal tempered pitches. This method of tuning is unique to the piano, and is known as "stretched tuning. " Setting Description This tuning curve expands the bass and treble ends somewhat.
