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.
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
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 ...
Listeners accustomed to more tonal tuning, such as meantone and well temperaments, notice many other notes are "off". Harmonics on C, from 1st (fundamental) to 32nd harmonic (five octaves higher). Notation used is based on the extended just notation by Ben Johnston Harmonic series as musical notation with intervals between harmonics labeled.
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.
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.
In general, the left-handed involute of the regular tuning based on the interval with semitones is the regular tuning based on its involuted interval with semitones: All-fourths tuning is based on the perfect fourth (five semitones), and all-fifths tuning is based on the perfect fifth (seven semitones), as mentioned previously. [21]
Major-thirds tuning is a regular tuning in which the musical intervals between successive strings are each major thirds. [29] [30] [31] Unlike all-fourths and all-fifths tuning, major-thirds tuning repeats its octave after three strings, which again simplifies the learning of chords and improvisation. [32]
