12 tone equal temperament chromatic scale on C, one full octave ascending, notated only with sharps. Play ascending and descending ⓘ. An equal temperament is a musical temperament or tuning system that approximates just intervals by dividing an octave (or other interval) into steps such that the ratio of the frequencies of any adjacent pair of notes is the same.
For 12 tone equally-tempered tuning, the fifths have to be tempered by considerably less than a 1 / 4 comma (very close to a 1 / 11 syntonic comma, or a 1 / 12 Pythagorean comma), since they must form a perfect cycle, with no gap at the end, whereas 1 / 4 comma meantone tuning, as mentioned above, has a residual ...
The common Zheng Diao tuning sets "do" to approx. "F 3" and tunes other strings relative to that to give C 3 D 3 F 3 G 3 A 3 C 4 D 4. Gusli: 9 strings 9 courses. Standard/common: E 3 A 3 B 3 C 4 D 4 E 4 F 4 G 4 A 4. Крыловидные гусли Russia Tuning varies; this is a common traditional tuning
A tuning is a sequence of pitches to which the strings are tuned. A stringing is a set of string gauges (and very occasionally other string parameters) that support one or more tunings. Just as many stringings support more than one tuning, so for many tunings there is more than one common stringing.
Surprisingly, although this tuning system was designed to produce purely consonant major thirds, only eight of the intervals that are thirds in 12 TET are purely just ( 5 : 4 or about 386.3 cents) in the truncated quarter comma shown on the table: The actual quarter-comma notes needed to start or end the interval of a third are missing from ...
This tuning also matches standard vihuela tuning and is often employed in classical guitar transcriptions of music written for those instruments, such as, for instance, "La Canción Del Emperador" and "Diferencias Sobre Guardame Las Vacas" by Renaissance composer Luis de Narváez, or music inspired by this style, such as "Pavanna" and "Bicycle ...
Stretched tuning is a detail of musical tuning, applied to wire-stringed musical instruments, older, non-digital electric pianos (such as the Fender Rhodes piano and Wurlitzer electric piano), and some sample-based synthesizers based on these instruments, to accommodate the natural inharmonicity of their vibrating elements.
