Introduction for readers

This wiki is about musical tuning.

That field is many things to many people. General theory is a good place to start your reading.

We also have a guide for learning about tunings on the internet, and a few different takes on some common misconceptions encountered in microtonal studies.

The pages on the left sidebar will get you eventually to most pages on the wiki, but there is also the recent changes page, and the index of all pages.

Feel free to ask questions and provide your own answers as you learn about microtonality.
