Richter tuning is a system of choosing the reeds for a diatonic wind instrument (such as a harmonica or accordion).It is named after Joseph Richter, a Bohemian instrument maker who adopted the tuning for his harmonicas in the early 19th century and is credited with inventing the blow/draw mechanism that allows the harmonica to play different notes when the air is drawn instead of blown.
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.

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.
Maurice's Bb6 tuning is used by a relatively small number of players but is a powerful tuning for a player whose principal genre is western swing or jazz and for whom it is advantageous to be able to play the 'country licks' when the need arises. In [1] the first instance of the E9/B6 Universal Tuning was published. It was used by both authors ...
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 ...
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 ...
