mistuning

The word "scordatura" is an Italian word which means "mistuning".

Professional piano tuners carefully control the mistuning of each string to add movement without losing clarity.

The closely spaced lines in various parts of the screen allowed focus to be checked from centre to edge; mistuning would also blur the lines.

In music mistuning is most generally the action of incorrectly tuning or the state of being out of tune.

Temperament actually involves the deliberate mistuning of pitches so that the octave is divided into 12 equal semitones.

The live "orchestra" picks up: an upright piano whose mistuning is undoubtedly chronic and a pathetic band of a half dozen or so wind players.

In mechanics mistuning is a lack of symmetry present in a real object that ideally is perfectly symmetric.

Since every blade is measured, stage effects such as flutter, blade mistuning, and nodal diameter can also be characterized.

The MT63 mode is very tolerant of mistuning, as most software will handle 120 Hz tuning offsets under normal conditions.

A scordatura (literally Italian for "mistuning"), also called cross-tuning, is an alternative tuning used for the open strings of a string instrument.

An occasional mistuning or rhythmic blurring from Concerto Köln, which had already spent both evenings in the pit for the festival production of Mozart's "Zaide," was certainly forgivable.

An octave is a consonance in all musical cultures I am aware of; an approximate octave is a dissonance or, at the very least, a deliberate mistuning or expression of tension.

That tuning rejects the "equal tempered" spacing of notes of the piano and most Western instruments; equal temperament is actually a mistuning that makes relationships between notes slightly inexact for the sake of flexibility.

We generalise the quasi-Lorenz system by introducing an injected amplitude y with the same scaling as x, but assumed real and positive, while x and p are now complex, in general, because of the detuning is and the mistuning (which we scale to I").

Intonation sensitivity is "determined by how the preference for a chord varies with the tuning, or mistuning, of the center note," and may be used to assess and evaluate a known or new chord and its perceptibility as the harmonic basis for a scale.
