My band likes to play flat of standard musical pitch A-440. Can the piano be tuned to a pitch lower or higher than standard musical pitch A-440?
Yes. The key notes “A” and “C” to the right of middle note “C” can be adjusted and all other notes relative to the check notes A and C. Some artists prefer the treble to be stretched but this is totally subjective depending on what the artist likes to hear and the musicians who are going to be playing along with the piano can do with their own instruments. Some instruments simply cannot be adjusted to a lower or higher pitch than what the instrument is designed to do, so review what instruments can be used before making this decision to change the pitch from standard musical pitch. The adjustment to the sharp side can vary from 0 to 0, 0 to + 5, 0 to +10, 0 to +15, 0 to +20 cents stretching from octave to octave. Lowering pitch should be with the help of the musician’s ear who intends to play along with this piano flat of pitch especially when attempting to tune other instruments to the piano pitch. Too much tension on the piano wire and it will break. Lowering pitch has to be done gra
