Tuning Systems

A tuning system refers to a set of rules used to establish the pitch relationships between the notes in a musical scale. Tuning systems are essential for creating harmony and coherence in music. There are various tuning systems, and they differ in how they define the intervals between pitches.

 

One of the most common tuning systems is equal temperament, where the octave is divided into twelve equal parts. Most commonly found in our inventory is aligned with the Fourth Octave A Note at 440Hz or 432Hz. Below are charts including the specific frequencies Perfect Pitch 440Hz and Perfect Pitch 432Hz Notes.

Other tuning systems, such as just intonation or various historical temperaments like Solfeggio Tones, prioritize different intervals for pure harmonies but may result in more challenging or complex mathematical alignment of notes. These tuning systems are much more rare and limited for selection within our inventory.
