String Resonance
String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos whereby the strings of held notes
resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other notes of the same harmonic series.
The CA93/CA63 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the String Resonance setting allowing the
volume of this resonance to be adjusted.
