Tuning | ===Tuning and scales=== | ||
The tuning used by Zoom musicians is approximately 10-tone equal temperament, with a stretched octave. Zoom musicians use tonal harmony and modulations based on 7-note scales in 10edo, built by stacking neutral thirds (~ 360 cents). However, depending on the village, natives may not tune in 10 exactly equal steps. | |||
