Just tuning and intervals
ID: just-tuning-and-intervals
Just tuning is a musical tuning system that is based on a series of simple frequency ratios for the intervals between notes. This approach to tuning emphasizes pure intervals that align with the harmonic series, which is the natural overtone series produced by vibrating strings or air columns. In just tuning, intervals are derived from whole-number ratios, which results in consonant and harmonically pleasing sounds.
