Stretch Tuning
Stretch tuning is a piano-specific tuning method used by acoustic piano technicians in which the lower octaves are
tuned slightly flatter and the upper octaves are tuned slightly sharper to match the natural harmonics of an acoustic
piano.
The Stretch Tuning setting allows the degree of stretch tuning to be adjusted when Equal temperament is selected,
or for stretch tuning to be completely disabled. It is also possible to create custom tuning methods by adjusting the
pitch of each individual key.
