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 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.

Each apotome is divided into 7 unequal parts, which requires 14 mandals per string. 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.

The tuning systems are all described by a series of cent values, which describe the subdivision of one apotome. According to the system sketched above, the first and the last value are always 22 cents (or 21.5 cents). This subdivision pattern occurs twice on each string, altogether 14 times per octave. This is followed by listings of some important rational intervals that are possible in this tuning, mainly in the range of a fourth (the range where the ajnas - maqam tetrachords - reside),

An notable property (of all systems) is that the second-highest mandal position of, say, the C string is 114-22=92 cents (the [[135_128|major limma]]), while the lowest mandal position on the following string (D in the example) is 214 (one wholetone above C) - 114 = 90 cents (the [[256_243|pythagorean limma]], the same interval as between E and F) - we have two notes differing by one [[32805_32768|schisma (2 cents)]]. So the interval of the schisma is present and can be played on a qanun in any of the tuning systems described here.

=Notation= 
The notes without accidentals stand for the pythagorean intervals of the base tuning of the qanun. Raising a pitch by an apotome is notated with "#", lowering a pitch by the same amount is notated with "b". Sharps are higher than flats (unlike in [[meantone]] systems): C# is one apotome (114 cents) above C, while Db is 9/8 (214 cents) minus one apotome = 90 cents. Both properties indicate that the framework is essentially pythagorean. The tuning system as a whole, however, is not.

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, correpsonding to the mandals. Seven base notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, B or Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si), corresponding to the strings, lead to a notation system of 7*15=105 pitches, in accordance with the real playing capabilities of the qanun. See the following document, which also gives all the pitches in one octave (in ratios and cents) that can be played by system 1 and 2.

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 roughly equal parts.

This gives the following rational intervals between the mandals:

A complete list of all intervals available within one octave can be found in the above-mentioned [[http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/file/view/Tableaux+JJW+VIII-2011.pdf|document]] (on the second page).

=Other models= 
J. J. Weiss has developed a number of other systems besides the two described above. A notable class of these are so-called super-symmetrical systems, which have the property that the intervals ascending from C and the intervals descending from F (which show slight differences in the previous two systems, marked in **bold** above) are the same.

See chapter 3.4 and appendix I in [[http://stefanpohlit.com/dissertation.engl..htm|Stefan Pohlit's dissertation]] for detailed descriptions.

==Example: Super-symmetrical model with 14/13== 
© J.J. Weiss
The idea behind this system is as follows:
Dividing the apotome (114 cents) into 3 equal parts gives 38 cents, and adding this to the pythagorean limma (90 cents) gives 128 cents, which is an approximation for [[14_13|14/13]].
The division of the apotome derived from this combines the known basic division into apotome, Zarlinian semitone and apotome with an equal division into 3 parts, which yields the following mandal positions (cents):

22, 16, 13, 12, 13, 16, 22

(Observe that 22+16 = 38, as well as 13+12+13.)

Mandal positions in ratios:
81/80, 1701/1664, 416/413, 3456/3481, 416/413, 1701/1664, 81/80

Since the pythagorean limma appears prominently in the basic framework anyway (as semitone from E to F and from B to C as well as one apotome minus a syntonic comma several times on each string), 14/13 also appears at various positions.

 J. J. Weiss has developed a number of other systems besides the two described above. A notable class of these are so-called super-symmetrical systems, which have the property that the intervals ascending from C and the intervals descending from F (which show slight differences in the previous two systems, marked in <strong>bold</strong> above) are the same.<br />
<br />

The idea behind this system is as follows:<br />
Dividing the apotome (114 cents) into 3 equal parts gives 38 cents, and adding this to the pythagorean limma (90 cents) gives 128 cents, which is an approximation for <a class="wiki_link" href="/14_13">14/13</a>.<br />
The division of the apotome derived from this combines the known basic division into apotome, Zarlinian semitone and apotome with an equal division into 3 parts, which yields the following mandal positions (cents):<br />
<br />
22, 16, 13, 12, 13, 16, 22<br />
<br />
(Observe that 22+16 = 38, as well as 13+12+13.)<br />
<br />
Mandal positions in ratios:<br />
81/80, 1701/1664, 416/413, 3456/3481, 416/413, 1701/1664, 81/80<br />
<br />
Since the pythagorean limma appears prominently in the basic framework anyway (as semitone from E to F and from B to C as well as one apotome minus a syntonic comma several times on each string), 14/13 also appears at various positions.<br />
