Your
new
piano
allows
you
to
play
classical
music
(Baroque
or
Renaissance,
for
ex-
ample),
using
the
tuning
system
popular
at
the
time
the
music
was
written.
This
lends
a
degree
of
authenticity
to
your
performances.
Nowadays,
most
music
is
written
for
instruments
which
use
Equal
Temperament,
the
tuning
most
commonly
used
today.
During
the
course
of
the
development
of
classical
music,
however,
a
number
of
other
tunings
were
also
in
common
use.
By
playing
a
particular
piece
with
the
tuning
of
the
period,
you
will
be
able
to
enjoy
the
sonorilies
that
the
chords
were
originally
meant
to
have.
Features
Developed
by
the
philosopher/mathematician
Pythagoras
as
a
Tuning
Method
|
PYTHAGOREAN
method
of
tuning
which
resolved
the
ambiguity
of
fourths
and
fifths.
As
a
result,
melodies
sound
cleaner
but
a
certain
amount
of
ambiguity
is
produced
with
triads.
JUST
A
method
of
tuning
which
resolved
the
ambiguity
of
fifths
and
thirds.
Quite
beautiful
sonorities
are
produced
with
chords,
but
the
scale
is
unbalanced
and
is
thus
not
well-suited
for
melodies.
MEAN
TONE
A
temperament
which
adds
some
compromises
lo
Just
tem-
perament
and
facilitates
transposition.
WERCKMEISTER
(The
3rd
scale
within
the
first
group
of
scales.)
By
combining
the
Mean
Tone
and
Pythagorean
temperaments,
it
allows
for
playing
in
any
key
with
similar
results.
KIRNBERGER
(The
3rd
scale.)
As
a
result
of
improvements
made
to
Mean
Tone
and
Just
temperament,
it
is
relatively
tolerant
towards
transposition,
and
can
be
used
to
play
in
all
keys.
To
Select
a
Classical
Temperament:
Press
the
FUNCTION
button.
One
of
the
Voice
buttons
will
light.
In
this
case,
it
represents
the
type
of
tuning
that
is
currently
active.
*
If
no
specific
choice
of
temperament
has
been
made,
the
instrument
is
set
to
use
Equal
tem-
perament.
While
Equal
temperament
is
selected,
none
of
the
indicators
on
the
Voice
buttons
will
flash.
While
continuing
to
hold
down
the
FUNCTION
button,
press
the
Voice
button
