This is a partial list of currently-established theories and approaches related to tuning.

~~''Below is a partial list of currently-established theories and approaches related to tuning.''~~

*[[Just Intonation]]: The tuning of pitches so that their fundamental frequencies are related by ratios of whole numbers. An infinite world of numerous models: the [[harmonic series]], integer frequency ratios, [[tonality diamond]]s, [[combination product sets]], [[Fokker blocks]] etc.

*[[Generalized overtone tuning]]: An approach similar to just intonation, but using an instrument's actual, non-harmonic overtone spectrum (e.g the partials of a metal bar, drum head, or synthesized timbre) to relate frequencies instead of the harmonic series.

*[[~~JustIntonation|~~Just Intonation]]: The tuning of pitches so that their fundamental frequencies are related by ratios of whole numbers. An infinite world of numerous models: the [[harmonic series]], integer frequency ratios, [[tonality diamond]]s, [[combination product sets]], [[Fokker blocks]] etc.

*[[Equal-step tuning]]: Tunings that use a single interval (and combinations thereof) to form a subtle monoculture of intervals.

*[[~~Generalized_overtone_tuning|~~Generalized overtone tuning]]: An approach similar to just intonation, but using an instrument's actual, non-harmonic overtone spectrum (e.g the partials of a metal bar, drum head, or synthesized timbre) to relate frequencies instead of the harmonic series.

*[[~~Equal_Temperaments|~~Equal tuning]]: Tunings that use a single interval (and combinations thereof) to form a subtle monoculture of intervals.

*[[Historical_Western_Temperaments|Historical Western Temperaments]]: The (somewhat forgotten) use of [[Pythagorean]] and [[Meantone|meantone tunings]] and [[Circulating_Temperaments|circulating temperaments]] in Western common practice music.

*Musical traditions of indigenous, ancient, and/or non-Western cultures
