Display Name Description
The tuning system used for traditional Arabic music.
These tuning systems were created by combining the mean tone and
Pythagorean systems, in which each musical key possesses its own
characteristic.
The Pythagorean system is constructed purely on the basis of octaves and
fifths, which produces the purest fifths and fourths but destabilizes thirds.
The mean-tone system was developed to address this issue to "fix" the thirds
so that they would sound consonant.
A tuning system that strictly follows the natural overtones, which sets the
frequency ratio between two notes to small integers. This scale produces
the purest triads (I, IV, V).
The most widely used system of tuning which features equal ratios of
frequency between all semitones.
