= Stretched tuning
{wiki=Stretched_tuning}
Stretched tuning is a concept often used in the context of music, particularly in tuning systems and musical instruments. It refers to a method of adjusting the pitch of notes to better fit harmonic contexts or specific performance practices rather than adhering strictly to equal temperament or other standardized tuning systems. In stretched tuning, the intervals between notes may be slightly altered to enhance consonance and overall sound quality, especially in chords or when played in ensemble settings.
