3.6 The PIANYZER - how to make an individual piano tuning
Using the „Pianyzer“ (Piano Analyzer) you get more beautiful piano tunings. Here the stretching
of the instrument will be optimized individually.
The stretching can be created in two ways.
1. An analysis of the piano to be tuned (ANALYZER).
2. By entering cents for certain specific tones (EDITOR).
The stretching is stored as stretching number 6. With firmware 1.30 this 6 stretching options are
available
Number 1 (VERY SLIGHT) Bass and Descant stretched slightly.
Number 2 (SLIGHT) Bass and Descant stetched.
Number 3 (STR.MODERATE) Bass and Descant stretched heavily.
Number 4 (STR.PRONOUNCED) Bass weak, center portion stretched heavily.
Number 5 (MEMORY) Self stored stretching
Number 6 (PIANYZER) Produced by pianyzer
3.6.1 How to create a stretching by the analysis of a piano (ANALYZER)
If you have practiced, you need for the analysis less than 5 minutes. Due to the interference-
free analog strobe display you get a safe, reproducible result.
By measuring the cent-deviation of certain partials of 5 special tones, reference values are
determined. (See the sample diagram of an individual piano stretching at the end of chapter the
capter). Based on these support-values, an optimized stretching will be calculated and stored.
To this end, the device makes all settings automatically. Important! For all measurements,
please damp with a felt wedge the string chorus so, that sounds just one string.
To work with the Analyzer, do the following:
After switching on the unit, use the „<>“ buttons to select the
option „PIANYZER“ and press „E“ button.
Select the option „ANALYZER“ and press “E” again.
Select the highest tone of your piano which has a 2 string
chorus and press “E”
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.
