History

Instruments

Some instruments used in Clofabian music include the spiusin/spüśın, a kind of harp or lyre with sympathetic strings; penicillin, a psalmodicon-like instrument (which is, incidentally, called moldpill in Estonian); ditoren, the crychord; and the sevoren (borrowed from Eevo sewvore) (an isomorphic keyboard).

Tunings

Clofabian tunings depend on the instrument. However, "Diaphonic cycles" (scales based on JI ratios with a common numerator) and "Helixsong cycles" (scales based on JI ratios with a common denominator). Meantone is also commonly used.
