| Generalized, "fluid tuning" could mean any instrument which offers a "temporarily fixed" tuning. That is, at any one moment, the instrument offers a finite set of fixed pitches, yet it also allows the //continuous// change of what those pitches are. Each pitch-producing mechanism in the instrument (each "voice") then has a defined frequency range. A fluid tuning could then be defined by a set of interval ranges instead of a set of single pitches. | | Generalized, "fluid tuning" could mean any instrument which offers a "temporarily fixed" tuning.
