pitch. Please tune to the other instruments in the ensemble.
Characteristics
Equal
With this tuning, the octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Regardless
of the interval, very little ambiguity is produced.
Pythagorean
Developed by the philosopher Pythagoras as a method of tuning that resolved
the ambiguousness of fourths and fifths. As a result, melodies sound cleaner,
but a certain amount of ambiguousness is produced with triads.
Just Major
This tuning eliminates the ambiguousness of fifths and thirds. This tuning is
not suitable for melodies, and transposition is impractical, but rich sonorities
can be produced by chords.
Just Minor
Just Major and Minor tunings are different. You can get the same effects in
the minor scale as in the major scale.
Mean Tone
A partial compromise of the Just Major tuning, created to make transpo-
sition possible.
Werckmeister
A combination of the Mean Tone and Pythagorean tunings. This tuning
can be used in all keys.
Kirnberger
As a result of improvements made to the Mean Tone and Just tempera-
ments, it is relatively tolerant towards transposition, and can be used to
play in all keys.
