Select the highest tone of your piano which has a 1 string
chorus and press "E".
Play the note "a-1" to measure the concert pitch of your
instrument and use the "<>" buttons to align the tuner. (See
also capter 2.3 of the manual) or you already can tune the
chorus of "a-1" to your desired pitch.
By pressing the "E " you are starting with the measurement of
the individual partials of the piano-analysis.
The indicator for this is structured as follows:
Note predetermined
Actual number of meas
Number of measurement
Progress display
Start now with the measurements (you now measure the second partial of a-1. To do this, play
the note which is automatically adjusted by the tuner (right now a_1) and align the tuners
frequency until the movement of the strobo display is stopped.
For fine adjustment use the "<>" buttons. For rough adjustment, you hold the "S" button and tap
one of the keys "<>". Pressing "A" starts an automatic scan. The audible tone can be used also.
Press „E".
Play the specified note (for the moment again a_1, since you
now measure the 3rd partial of a-1) and align the tuner again.
Press "E".
Play the specified note (for the moment again a_1, since you
now measure the 4rd partial of a-1) and align the tuner again.
Then press "E". The tuner will now continue to the next note. It
then emits a short beep and for 1 second „next note" is indicated.
Play the specified note (for the moment again a_2, since you now
meassure the fundamental tone of a-2) and align the tuner again.
Press "E".
Certainly, you now know how the device pretends the operating steps. Now perform all
measurements.
Important note: When the instrument is grossly out of tune, immediately after the tuner changes
the note, you should align the actual tone to the tuner using a tuning hammer. This is necessary
because the inharmonicity of the piano string depends on its tension. This, however, only be
carried out immediately after the change of note. So just before the measurements 5 / 9 /, 13 /
and 17/
After the last measurement you get this display. This are eight
cents-values (support values), that were determined automatically
on the basis of previous measurements.
