The tuning tables on this page are specifically designed for the tuning system of the [[qanun]] (see the link for details on the system of tuning and playing a qanun with mandals/orabs). The logic behind the systems is as follows:

The empty strings of the qanun are tuned to a pythagorean diatonic scale, with a major third of [[~~81_80~~|81/80]], a major sixth of [[27_16|27/16]] and a major seventh of [[243_128|243/128]].

The empty strings of the qanun are tuned to a pythagorean diatonic scale, with a major third of [[81_64|81/64]], a major sixth of [[27_16|27/16]] and a major seventh of [[243_128|243/128]].

The possible pitches of a string obtained via raising/lowering the mandals lie within two [[2187_2048|apotomes (2187/2048, 113.7 cents)]]. The base note is assumed in the middle. The mandals allow raising and lowering this note by maximally one apotome.
