A less common string configuration is the "6x6" in which each set of strings is tuned to a whole-tone scale (rather than diatonic and 'accidental' tuning). The advantage of this layout is that only two sets of fingering patterns are required for major scales, one set when the root of the key is on the left strung strings and the other for the ...
The complement of set X is the set consisting of all the pitch classes not contained in X. [12] The product of two pitch classes is the product of their pitch-class numbers modulo 12. Since complementation and multiplication are not isometries of pitch-class space, they do not necessarily preserve the musical character of the objects they ...
All string instruments produce sound from one or more vibrating strings, transferred to the air by the body of the instrument (or by a pickup in electronically amplified instruments). They are usually categorised by the technique used to make the strings vibrate (or by the primary technique, in the case of instruments where more than one may ...
The difference between the interval vector of a set and that of its complement is <X, X, X, X, X, X/2>, where (in base-ten) X = 12 – 2C, and C is the cardinality of the smaller set. In nearly all cases, complements of unsymmetrical sets are inversionally related—i.e. the complement of an "A" version of a set of cardinality C is (usually ...
Elixir Strings boast the longest-lasting tone compared to any string, coated or uncoated, allowing them to sound great from the couch to the gig to the session and everywhere in between.
The category of sets can also be considered to be a universal object that is, again, not itself a set. It has all sets as elements, and also includes arrows for all functions from one set to another. Again, it does not contain itself, because it is not itself a set.

In discussions of the instrumentation of a musical work, the phrase "the strings" or "and strings" is used to indicate a string section as just defined. An orchestra consisting solely of a string section is called a string orchestra. Smaller string sections are sometimes used in jazz, pop, and rock music and in the pit orchestras of musical ...
