PYTHAGOREAN— Uses the Pythagorean scale. Devised by Pythagoras, the fourth and fifth are kept from becoming ambiguous in this tuning.
JUST (MAJOR)— In this tuning, the third and fifth are kept from becoming too ambiguous. Choose this setting for pieces in a major key.
JUST (MINOR)— With this tuning you can achieve the same effect as for Just Major, this time for pieces in a minor key.
MEAN TONE— A partial compromise of the Just (Major) tuning, to make transposition possible.
WERCKMEISTER— A combination of Mean Tone and Pythagorean tunings.
KIRNBERGER— An improvement of the Mean Tone and Just (Major) tunings, it is a tuning which allows greater freedom of transposition.
When performing with these alternative tunings, you need to specify the fundamental tone (the root for a major key, the sixth for minor) to match the key of the song you are performing.
When you are accompanying another instrument, please tune to the fundamental tones of that instru- ment.
