Tuning Unlike an acoustic piano, the Clavinova does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune. Transporting If you move to another location, you can transport the Clavinova along with your other belongings. You can move the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit. Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock. After transporting the instrument, do the following to ensure optimum performance of the iAFC function (page 81): • Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least 10 cm away from the wall. • Perform the automatic adjustment of the iAFC function (page 82).
