<html> <body> Duane, Which piano is sampled has nothing to do with the tuning, because that's not the way samples work.  They sample 1 or 2 notes within an octave, and the tuning is generated by whichever electronic engineer works out the full implementation of the notes on the keyboard.  I can't for the life of me figure out how they came up with the tunings on that thing - they are just all over the place.  I once measured all 88 keys and generated a tuning chart as part of a report I sent to Japan on this subject.  I don't think it made any difference - they probably didn't like having me criticize their work. I think there's a way to customize the tuning, though.
