Abstract

Przedmiotem zgłoszenia jest sposób strojenia chordofonów w alternatywnych skalach muzycznych o zmniejszonej liczbie stopni względem stroju oryginalnego, bazujący na monotonicznych odwzorowaniach surjektywnych. Sposób strojenia charakteryzuje się tym, że jeśli skala oryginalna ma N stopni, a skala alternatywna M, gdzie M<N, to podczas strojenia instrumentu w skali alternatywnej N-M stopni skali oryginalnej jest odwzorowane na ten sam stopień skali alternatywnej co inny stopień skali oryginalnej. Sposób pozwala na stabilne strojenie chordofonu (np. fortepianu) bez ryzyka zerwania strun lub uszkodzenia instrumentu.The subject of the application is a method of tuning chordophones in alternative musical scales with a reduced number of degrees in relation to the original tuning, based on monotonic surjective mappings. The tuning method is characterized in that if the original scale has N degrees, and the alternative scale has M, where M<N, then during tuning of the instrument in the alternative scale, N-M degrees of the original scale are mapped to the same degree of the alternative scale as another degree of the original scale. The method allows for stable tuning of the chordophone (e.g. a piano) without the risk of breaking the strings or damaging the instrument.
