The base notes without accidentals form 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]]. | |||
A first characteristic of this system is that sharps are higher than flats: C# is one apotome (114 cents) above C, while Db is 9/8 (214 cents) minus one apotome = 90 cents. Sharps being higher than flats is a property of pythagorean systems (unlike [[meantone]] systems). | |||
A second characteristic is that one mandal position below C# (i.e. one syntonic comma down) gives 114 - 22 = 92 cents, differenig from Db by one [[32805_32768|schisma (2 cents)]]. | |||
The interval of the schisma is present and can be played on a qanun in any of the tuning systems described here. | |||

Original Wikitext content:
<span style="font-size: 150%;">**Tuning systems for the qanun**</span> [[toc]] Julien Jalaleddine Weiss, used with permission. Reference: Pohlit, Stefan. 2011. Julien Jalâl Ed-Dine Weiss – A New Qānūn System: Its Application in the Performance Practice of the Ensemble “Al-Kindi” and in Contemporary Western Music. PhD Thesis, MIAM/Istanbul Technical University. Online version of Stefan Pohlit's dissertation: see [[http://stefanpohlit.com/dissertation.engl..htm]] 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 possible pitches of a string obtained via raising/lowering the mandals lie within one [[2187_2048|apotome (2187/2048, 113.7 cents)]], in both directions. All systems divde the apotome into 7 parts, which requires 14 mandals per string (one apotome up and down). The first rough subdivision of the apotome is always into one [[81_80|syntonic comma (81/80, 21.5 cents)]], one [[25_24|Zarlinian semitone (25/24, 70.7 cents)]] and another syntonic comma. The middle part (25/24, Zarlinian semitone) is then further subdivided into 5 (unequal or equal) parts. The various systems differ mainly in the division of the middle part. =Notation= Raising a pitch by an apotome is notated with "#", lowering a pitch by the same amount is notated with "b". For the steps in between, additional symbols are used - altogether 7 symbols for raising pitches and 7 for lowering pitches. This gives 15 potential different pitches per base note. Seven base notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, B or Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si) lead to a notation system of 7*15=105 pitches. See the following document. [[file:Tableaux JJW VIII-2011.pdf]] (used with permission J. J. Weiss/S. Pohlit) The base notes without accidentals form 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]]. A first characteristic of this system is that sharps are higher than flats: C# is one apotome (114 cents) above C, while Db is 9/8 (214 cents) minus one apotome = 90 cents. Sharps being higher than flats is a property of pythagorean systems (unlike [[meantone]] systems). A second characteristic is that one mandal position below C# (i.e. one syntonic comma down) gives 114 - 22 = 92 cents, differenig from Db by one [[32805_32768|schisma (2 cents)]]. The interval of the schisma is present and can be played on a qanun in any of the tuning systems described here. =Older systems= ==First System J.J.Weiss== Luthier: Ejder Gulec. Subdivision of 25/24 into 65/64 (26 cents), 144/143 (12 cents) and 55/54 (32 cents). 65/64 and 55/54 are each split into two. This gives the following interval positions of the mandals: 22, 13, 13, 12, 16, 16, 22 cents.

For the steps in between, additional symbols are used - altogether 7 symbols for raising pitches and 7 for lowering pitches.<br />
This gives 15 potential different pitches per base note. Seven base notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, B or Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si) lead to a notation system of 7*15=105 pitches. See the following document.<br />

The base notes without accidentals form a pythagorean diatonic scale, with a major third of <a class="wiki_link" href="/81_80">81/80</a>, a major sixth of <a class="wiki_link" href="/27_16">27/16</a> and a major seventh of <a class="wiki_link" href="/243_128">243/128</a>.<br />
<br />
A first characteristic of this system is that sharps are higher than flats: C# is one apotome (114 cents) above C, while Db is 9/8 (214 cents) minus one apotome = 90 cents. Sharps being higher than flats is a property of pythagorean systems (unlike <a class="wiki_link" href="/meantone">meantone</a> systems).<br />
<br />
A second characteristic is that one mandal position below C# (i.e. one syntonic comma down) gives 114 - 22 = 92 cents, differenig from Db by one <a class="wiki_link" href="/32805_32768">schisma (2 cents)</a>.<br />
The interval of the schisma is present and can be played on a qanun in any of the tuning systems described here.<br />

Subdivision of 25/24 into 65/64 (26 cents), 144/143 (12 cents) and 55/54 (32 cents).<br />
65/64 and 55/54 are each split into two.<br />
<br />
This gives the following interval positions of the mandals: 22, 13, 13, 12, 16, 16, 22 cents.<br />
