How to Tune a Digital Piano

Whilst acoustic pianos rely on strings and mechanical mechanisms to produce their sounds, the digital piano uses recorded sounds to produce audio. The mechanical operation of the acoustic piano means that it will require manual and professional tuning from time to time. Depending on the style and the quality of the acoustic piano, this could mean that the acoustic piano will need to be tuned a couple of times a year to ensure that it is in tune with itself as well as other instruments that may be playing with it. Digital pianos however never actually need to be tuned because they use recorded sounds of notes that remain perfectly in tune. More at http://bestrateddigitalpiano.com.

There may, however, come a time when you want to tune your digital piano for one reason or another. Perhaps you are playing with several instruments that have been tuned to the same level and want your digital piano to match them rather than tuning all the other instruments.

Not all digital pianos have a tuning feature. This is because they do not really need it. If your digital piano has got a tuner, however, it is as simple as pressing the relevant button on the menu to bring up the tuning feature controls and then simply altering the pitch to be more sharp or flat. You can do this with accuracy thanks to the digital operation.

It is important that you do not confuse the term ‘tuning’ with ‘transposing’ however. These two terms have completely different. Many digital pianos come with the option to transpose and it can be a very useful feature to use. When you transpose a piano, you essentially alter the key that the digital piano is being played in, and you can also transpose the piano up or down an octave most of the time too. This is particularly useful if you are playing with an instrument that plays in a different key to the music that you are using.

Transposing with a digital piano couldn’t be easier. You will need to first ensure that you piano offers this feature before you begin and check your manual for precise instructions about how to transpose the key. Usually, like with tuning, you will be able to adjust the transposition by quite simply pressing a few buttons. Most digital pianos are very easy to use and if you do struggle with changing any settings, you should keep referring to your manual.
