What are the correct pitches for any of the unisons in Yamaha pianos, other than A-4? The rear duplex is theoretically supposed to be some partial of the speaking length to sing along and augment the overall sound. "Tuning" them may help, at least some folks think so, but it's really not possible to keep them in tune with the speaking length. There's about a week's worth of reading in the archives on the subject if you want the gory details. Del also published an article in the Journal on the subject that sums it up more succinctly. As for the Yamaha specifically, measure them and compare against the speaking lengths. Then do the math. Or pluck and ponder. Ron N
