Spiral tuning systems encompass the diverse configurations of a spiral polygonal chain, known as a "spirangle," utilizing the segment's length as source for pitch, | Spiral tuning systems encompass the diverse configurations of a spiral polygonal chain, known as a "spirangle," utilizing the segment's length as source for pitch, either as string length or frequency. | ||
These systems are non-periodic and possess an infinite range of possibilities. Among these configurations defined by their sides and segments, many prove musically practical, with potential for some to manifest as tangible instruments, such as spiral harps. | These systems are non-periodic and possess an infinite range of possibilities.
