Thread Name: When Was A-440 Pitch Adopted?
Subject: RE: When Was A-440 Pitch Adopted?
If sampled sounds are used for an electronic piano, then the inharmonicity of the low strings as recorded would contain frequencies that would beat unpleasantly with the high notes - stretch tuning would therefore be used.

If non sampled sounds are used, then it would depend on the spectrum of the waveform and how it was generated
