"Tuning" your organ/keyboard
Posted: 07 Jul 2019 23:00
(The comments below refer to the AR organ, but I am sure you can do something the same with other organs and keyboards)
If you wish to accompany, say your grandchild playing their flute, you should tune your AR to their instrument using something like a clarinet or oboe Voice on the Lower Keyboard - Voice 1. Obviously both of you should play the same note, but you may have to adjust the Transpose if they are playing a Transposing instrument. Do not use the Upper Keyboard. The reason for this (on the AR anyway) is because only the Lower Organ and Lower 1 are tuned to 'zero' (Standard 440Hz). Everything else is tuned slightly above or below by 'default'. See this post:
