He suggested keeping C4 at standard pitch. I explained the need for rescaling and he still really wants the entire piano permanently converted. Has anyone done this? Are there string-scale people out there willing to take re-scaling this on? Has anyone programmed an ETD to do this (sorry I only do ET & WT(s) aurally). I have a Verituner; has anyone programmed it for 1/4 tone tunings? Andrew C. Anderson for Laredo Community College I happen to own a Yamaha S90-ES music synth. In it's utility mode you can set it to quarter tones. The piano patch is a sample of their S7 (I think that's what they call it). It is a very expensive piano to purchase. The piano sample really is outstanding. They have sampled 3 different volume levels per key and also has a feature to simulate the open strings when pedal is depressed. It also has a half pedaling feature. At a retail cost of about 2600.00 I purchased one at a Guitar Center for 1900.00. Certainly cheaper than trying to convert a real piano.
