Tuning to Other Instruments’
Pitches (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 basic pitch
is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of
all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “master
tuning.”
When the instrument is turned on, the standard pitch is set to
“440.0 Hz.”
1. Switch to Function mode, and press the [Piano]
button.

415.3 Hz to 466.2 Hz.
The pitch is lowered 0.1 Hz each time the [-] button is
pressed. When the button is held down, the pitch drops
continuously.
The pitch is raised 0.1 Hz each time the [+] button is
pressed. When the button is held down, the pitch rises
continuously.
To return to the original pitch, press the [-] and [+]
buttons simultaneously.
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.
1. Switch to Function mode, and press the
[Transpose] button.
