Hi, SW1 switches to "stretched tuning". This means that the overall tuning is intentionally slightly out of tune. It is stretched a few cent over the whole 5 Octave range of the instrument. This adds even more movement and richness to the tone (additional note beating). That is why you have to switch the switch to the other position during instrument tuning. When you are going through alignment and finally satisfied with tuning accuracy and got the best from the instrument, you test it and you think: nice, now it sounds really clean. Then you would switch SW1 to stretched tuning position and you think: wow! what a sound ... I wish you good luck ... and a fine experience for your ears (and brain!) Johannes Chromatest J.
