  2. Pythagorean tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning

    Pythagorean (tonic) major chord on C ⓘ (compare ⓘ equal tempered and ⓘ just). Comparison of equal-tempered (black) and Pythagorean (green) intervals showing the relationship between frequency ratio and the intervals' values, in cents. Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratios of all intervals are ...

  3. Piano key frequencies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies

    Contents. Piano key frequencies. This is a list of the fundamental frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the keys of a modern 88-key standard or 108-key extended piano in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A 4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440). [ 1 ][ 2 ] Every octave is made of twelve steps called ...

  4. Letter frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency

    Letter frequency is the number of times letters of the alphabet appear on average in written language. Letter frequency analysis dates back to the Arab mathematician Al-Kindi (c.801 –873 AD), who formally developed the method to break ciphers. Letter frequency analysis gained importance in Europe with the development of movable type in 1450 ...

  5. Piano acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_acoustics

    The Railsback curve contrasts a theoretically correct equal-tempered piano tuning against one that compensates for a piano's inharmonicity. The Railsback curve, first measured by O.L. Railsback, expresses the difference between inharmonicity-aware stretched piano tuning, and theoretically correct equal-tempered tuning in which the frequencies of successive notes are related by a constant ratio ...

  6. Harmonic series (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

    Harmonics of a string showing the periods of the pure-tone harmonics (period = 1/frequency) The harmonic series (also overtone series) is the sequence of harmonics, musical tones, or pure tones whose frequency is an integer multiple of a fundamental frequency. Pitched musical instruments are often based on an acoustic resonator such as a string ...

  7. Percentile rank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile_rank

    For example, 50 − 25 = 25 is not the same distance as 60 − 35 = 25 because of the bell-curve shape of the distribution. Some percentile ranks are closer to some than others. Percentile rank 30 is closer on the bell curve to 40 than it is to 20. If the distribution is normally distributed, the percentile rank can be inferred from the ...

  8. Frequency (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(statistics)

    A frequency distribution table is an arrangement of the values that one or more variables take in a sample. Each entry in the table contains the frequency or count of the occurrences of values within a particular group or interval, and in this way, the table summarizes the distribution of values in the sample.

  9. Seven-string guitar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-string_guitar

    Contents. Seven-string guitar. The seven-string guitar adds one additional string to the more common six-string guitar, commonly used to extend the bass range (usually a low B) or also to extend the treble range. The additional string is added in one of two different ways: by increasing the width of the fingerboard such that the additional ...
