About stretched tuning
In order to produce the most natural resonance, PIANO1
and PIANO2 sounds use a “stretched tuning” that makes
thenotesofthelowerrangeslightlyaerthanequaltem-
perament, and the upper range slightly sharper. This is
how an acoustic piano is normally tuned by professional
tuners.
