The standard tuning ( low to high ) is E-A-D-G, starting from E below second low C ( concert pitch ).

Currently, the most common tuning fork sounds the note of A = 440 Hz, because this is the standard concert pitch, which is used as tuning note by some orchestras, it being the pitch of the violin's second string, the first string of the viola, and an octave above the first string of the cello, all played open.

This tuning, disregarding octaves, is similar to the typical C-tuning of the ukulele or the Venezuelan cuatro, with the addition of a second E-course.

The argument from design asserts, first, that the universe is fine tuned to support life, and second, that this fine tuning points to the existence of an intelligent designer.

The rebuttal attacked by Hacking consists of accepting the first premise, but rejecting the second on the grounds that our ( big bang ) universe is just one in a long sequence of universes, and that the fine tuning merely shows that there have been many other ( poorly tuned ) universes preceding this one.

When played at the second fret, this appears to create a drop D tuning ( in which the bass E string is detuned to a D ) raised one full tone in pitch.

However, the same difference applies with a drop D capo as with a regular capo ; namely, only the open tuning of the strings is affected, and thus, when used at the second fret, an E chord using the D shape will have the " Drop D sound " with a low E note.

An example tuning of the four string version is B, e, f < sup >♯</ sup > and b, and the five string instrument can be tuned to C, G, C, d and g. For the five string version, the first and third strings are tuned the same note, the second string down three steps down, the fifth string an octave higher than the second string, and the fourth string a step down from the fifth.

The second tuning ( ci kow or high ) uses the same string intervals but the fundamental is placed a minor second above the higher melody string, meaning that the open main strings now play the role of 3 and 6, with the supplementary strings acting as 3 ´ and 4 #, the highest supplementary string usually being ignored.

In it a beam of light is bounced off a mirror attached to a vibrating tuning fork, and then reflected off a second mirror attached to a perpendicularly orientated vibrating tuning fork ( usually of a different pitch, creating a specific harmonic interval ), onto a wall, resulting in a Lissajous figure.

The " Viennese tuning " ( A < sup > 1 </ sup >- D-F-A ) was popular, and in some cases a fifth string or even sixth string was added ( F < sup > 1 </ sup >- A < sup > 1 </ sup >- D-F-A ).

1520 – 1591 ), father of Galileo and the inventor of monody, made use of the method in successfully solving musical problems, firstly, of tuning such as the relationship of pitch to string tension and mass in stringed instruments, and to volume of air in wind instruments ; and secondly to composition, by his various suggestions to composers in his Dialogo della musica antica e moderna ( Florence, 1581 ).

It must be accurately cut, or it can contribute to tuning problems due to string slippage or string buzz.

To reduce string friction in the nut, which can adversely affect tuning stability, some guitarists fit a roller nut.

In the top position no pegs are in contact with the string and all notes are flat ; thus the harp's native tuning is to the scale of C-flat major.

Three strings on the pedal harp have no pedal tuning mechanism: the two lowest strings ( contrabass C and D ) and the highest string ( G ).

Each string is wound around a tuning pin, normally at the end of the string which is closer to the player.

When rotated with a wrench or tuning hammer, the tuning pin adjusts the tension so that the string will sound the correct pitch.

Unlike members of the violin family, which are tuned in fifths, viols are usually tuned in fourths with a major third in the middle, mirroring the tuning employed on the vihuela de mano and lute during the 16th century and similar to that of the modern six-string guitar.

The standard tuning of the viol is in fourths, with a major third in the middle ( like the standard Renaissance lute tuning ).

Also it can play in the key of " D " with a bluesy sound since the " F " natural note becomes a flat third or " minor " third in the key of D. However a skilled accordion player can play in these other keys and still make good music whereby the notes missing ( because of the limitations of the diatonic tuning ) are not needed by the melody.

For instance, a harpsichord tuner it might think of quarter-comma meantone tuning as having three generators — the octave, the just major third ( 5 / 4 ) and the quarter-comma tempered fifth — but because four consecutive tempered fifths produces a just major third, the major third is redundant, reducing it to a rank-two temperament.
