Tuning

Other tunings are used as well, in particular the 'drop D' tuning is used by many electric slide players as this tuning allows for power chords in the bass strings and conventional tuning 'navigation' for the rest.

The farther the tuning gets away from quarter-comma meantone, however, the less related citation the tuning is to harmonic timbres, which can be overcome by tempering the timbre to match the tuning.

This is because instructions for tuning the scale involve tuning a chain of six fifths, so that the corresponding circle of seven major and minor thirds are all consonant-sounding, and this is a recipe for tuning a diatonic scale.

Also ditone and semiditone are specific for Pythagorean tuning, while tone and tritone are used generically for all tuning systems.

Another common tuning used on early five-string basses is E-A-D-G-C, known as "tenor tuning".

A variant and much less-commonly used form of solo tuning used in some Eastern European countries is (A–D–G–C), which uses three of the strings from orchestral tuning (A–D–G) and then adds a high "C" string.

Braun's British patent on tuning was used by Marconi in many of his tuning patents.

For information on the strings used in regular and solo tuning and with different types of basses, see the section below on tuning.

He also constructed a 12-string tuning instrument, with a set of tuning pitch pipes hidden inside its bottom cavity.

Hence, using tempered timbres, one can achieve a degree of consonance, in any tempered tuning, that is comparable to the consonance achieved by the combination of just intonation tuning and harmonic timbres.

In 2007, the discovery of the syntonic temperament exposed the Pythagorean tuning as being a point on the syntonic temperament's tuning continuum.

It can be difficult to play conventional chords especially in augmented-fourths tuning and all-fifths tuning,sfn in which the large spacings require hand stretching.

Load tuning Tuning load to gun can also yield great increases in accuracy, especially for standard, non- accurized rifles.

MIDI Tuning Standard main Most MIDI synthesizers use equal temperament tuning.

Most of the songs are recorded in standard guitar tuning as Mustaine believes it to provide a superior melody to alternative methods of tuning. citation During the band's early days, Mustaine was the rhythm guitarist, while Chris Poland played lead.

One particular advantage of intercarrier sound is that when the front panel fine tuning knob is adjusted, the sound carrier frequency does not change with the tuning, but stays at the above-mentioned offset frequency.

On the other hand, some chords are more difficult to play in a regular tuning than in standard tuning.

Radioteletype tuning indicator Tuning indicator on cathode ray tube Radioteletype (RTTY) is a telecommunications system consisting originally of two or more electromechanical teleprinters in different locations connected by radio rather than a wired link.

Size of intervals used in different tuning systems In this table, the interval widths used in four different tuning systems are compared.

Strings and tuning main The tuning machines (with spiral metal worm gears ) are mounted on the back of the headstock on the bass guitar neck.
