Items Master Tuning
Temperament
Temperament key
Value
415.3 Hz466.2 Hz (default value: 442.0 Hz)
Explanation
When playing in an ensemble with other instruments, you can adjust the
reference pitch of this piano so that you will harmonize correctly with the
other instruments. The reference pitch is usually expressed as the frequency
that is heard when you play the middle A (A4) note. The action of matching the
reference pitch to other instruments is called “tuning”.
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments
(tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most
common tuning in use today. But at one time, there were a wide variety of
other tuning systems in existence. By playing in the temperament that was in
use when a composition was created, you can experience the sonorities of
chords originally intended for that song.
Equal (default setting) Just Major Just Minor
Pythagorean
This temperament divides the octave into twelve equal steps. It is the
temperament that is most commonly used on today’s pianos. Every interval has
the same slight amount of dissonance.
In these temperaments, the primary triads are perfectly consonant. It is
unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of
beautiful sonorities. The Just tunings differ from major and minor keys.
This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in
fourths and fifths. Although triadic chords are slightly dissonant, this
tuning is suitable for songs that have a simple melody.
Kirnberger I
Kirnberger I. As in the Just temperaments, the primary triads are consonant in this tuning. Beautiful sonorities are obtained when playing songs that are written in keys appropriate for this tuning.
Kirnberger II Kirnberger III
Meantone
Werckmeister Arabic CB (default value: C)
Kirnberger II. This is a revision of Kirnberger I that reduces the limitations
on the usable keys.
Kirnberger III. This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that
provides a high degree of freedom of modulation. Performances are possible in
all keys. Since the resonance differs depending on the key, chords played in
this temperament resonate in diverse ways when compared to equal temperament.
This temperament slightly narrows the fifth relative to Just temperaments.
While the Just temperaments contains two types of whole tone (major whole tone
and minor whole tone), meantone temperament uses only one type of whole tone
(mean whole tone). Transposition within a limited range of keys is possible.
Werckmeister. This temperament consists of eight perfect fifths and four
narrowed fifths. Performances are possible in all keys. Since the resonance
differs depending on the key, chords played in this temperament resonate in
diverse ways when compared to equal temperament.
This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.
This sets the primary key of the temperament. When playing with tuning other
than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key for tuning the
song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major key
or to A for a minor key). If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need
to select a temperament key.

Value
Explanation
Adjusts the extent to which the top lid of the grand piano is open.
Lid
06 (default value: 4) The sound will become more mellow as you close the top lid of the piano in the screen.
The sound will become brighter as you open the top lid of the piano in the screen.
Key Off Noise
Off, 110 (default value: 3)
Adjusts the action noise that is heard when you release a key. Higher settings produce a louder action noise.
Hammer Noise
-20+2 (default value: 0)
Adjusts the sound produced when the hammer of an acoustic piano strikes the string. Higher settings will produce a louder sound of the hammer striking the string.
Duplex Scale
Off, 110 (default value: 2)
Adjusts the sympathetic vibrations of an acoustic piano’s Duplex Scale.
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating strings sometimes
included in grand pianos. These sympathetically vibrating strings are not
struck directly with hammers, but sound by vibrating in sympathy with the
vibrations of other strings. By resonating with the overtones, these strings
add richness and brilliance to the sound. These sympathetic strings are added
only to the high register above approximately C4. Since they do not have a
damper (a mechanism that stops them from sounding), they will continue
sounding even after you play a note and then release it to stop the sound of
the string that was actually struck.
Full Scale String Res.
Off, 110 (default value: 4)
Adjusts the resonant sound of an acoustic piano (the sound produced by the strings of previously-pressed keys vibrating in sympathy with newly played notes, or the sound of other strings vibrating in sympathy with the notes you play while pressing the damper pedal). Higher settings produce louder sympathetic resonance.
Damper Resonance Off, 110
Adjusts the overall resonance of the acoustic piano when its damper pedal is
pressed (the sound of other strings vibrating in sympathy when you press the
damper pedal, and the resonance of the entire instrument).
Higher settings produce louder sympathetic resonance.
Key Off Resonance
Off, 110 (default value: 3)
Adjusts the resonance of the subtle sounds that occur when a key of an acoustic piano is released. A higher value produces a larger tonal change during the decay.
Cabinet Resonance
Off, 110 (default value: 4)
Adjusts the body resonance of the grand piano itself. Higher values will produce a larger body resonance.
Selects how the soundboard of the acoustic piano will resonate. Soundboard Type 15 (default value: 1) You can choose from five different types of resonance.
Damper Modeling
Off, 110 (default value: 5)
Adjusts the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound (the sound of the damper releasing the strings when you press the damper pedal).
Single Note Tuning -50.00+50.0
(*)

source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful
spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of
time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
· Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the cause
of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.
Care of the Keyboard
· Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other implement, and do not
stamp or place any marking on the instrument. Ink will seep into the surface
lines and become unremovable.
· Do not affix stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to remove stickers
that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive may cause discoloration.
· To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available keyboard cleaner that
does not contain abrasives. Start by wiping lightly. If the dirt does not come
off, wipe using gradually increasing amounts of pressure while taking care not
to scratch the keys.
Concerning the Care of the Unit (Mirror Finish)
· The surface of this unit has been polished so as to create a high-gloss,
mirror-like finish. Since this beautiful finish is as delicate as that of the
highest quality, wood-crafted furniture, it needs to be cared for at regular
intervals. Please make sure to observe the following when caring for the unit.
· For routine care, gently clean the surface using a soft cloth or a piano-use
feather duster. You must avoid applying any force, since even the tiniest
particles of sand or grit can produce scratches if you wipe too hard. · If the
finish loses its luster, use a soft cloth dampened with some polishing liquid
to evenly wipe the surface of the unit. · Avoid using detergents or other
cleaners, as they can cause the surface finish to deteriorate. This may lead
to the formation of cracks or other imperfections. Also, do not use
chemically-enhanced cleaning cloths.
· Precautions concerning the use of polishing agents · Refer to the
instructions that came with the polishing agent for instructions on its proper
use. · Use only polishing agents that are designed specifically for use on the
mirror finishes of pianos. By using any other product, you risk causing
scratches, deformation, discoloration, etc. To purchase an appropriate
product, please consult the nearest musical instrument store. · Use the
product only on the portions of this unit that have a mirror-like finish, and
using an even touch, apply it equally over the entire surface. If you apply
more force in one place over another, you risk losing some of the luster of
the finish. · Store in a location that is out of the reach of small children.
If accidentally ingested, induce vomiting immediately. Then, see a doctor to
obtain a diagnosis.
