Tuning | ===Tuning and scales=== | ||
The tuning used by Zoom musicians is 10 approximately equally spaced notes of a stretched octave (which sometimes may be up to 10 cents sharper than a true octave). Zoom musicians use 7 note subsets at a time, often built by stacking neutral thirds (~ 360 cents). Modulations to other keys may also be used. However, depending on the village, natives may not tune in 10 exactly equal steps. | |||
The scales are given below in scales, with their approximate pitches based on C. (+ = half sharp, d = half flat) | |||
The five "basic" modes are: | |||
*2 1 2 1 2 1 1 (≈ C D+ Ed F# G Bdb B C) | |||
*2 1 2 1 1 2 1 (≈ C D+ Ed F# G Ad B C) | |||
*2 1 1 2 1 2 1 (≈ C D+ Ed F G Ad B C) | |||
*1 2 1 2 1 2 1 (≈ C Db Ed F G Ad B C) | |||
*1 2 1 2 1 1 2 (≈ C Db Ed F G Ad Bdb C) | |||
However there are some altered modes: | |||
*2 1 2 1 1 1 2 (≈ C D+ Ed F# G Ad Bdb C) | |||
*2 1 1 2 1 1 2 (≈ C D+ Ed F G Ad Bdb C), influenced by harmonic series scales in Talman music | |||
