Tune each key of the keyboard to a different pitch. The pitches of the keys keep the property of being arranged in ascending order - but the octave pattern will be different, and there are larger amounts of retuning required.<br /> | Tune each key of the keyboard to a different pitch.

In the case of acoustical instruments such as pianos, tuning full keyboard scales may even require major changes in construction.
