Aerophone

An aerophone is a musical instrument that produces sound primarily by causing a body of air to vibrate, without the use of strings or membranes (which are respectively chordophones and membranophones), and without the vibration of the instrument itself adding considerably to the sound (or idiophones).

See Orthotonophonium and Aerophone

Archicembalo

The archicembalo (or arcicembalo) was a musical instrument described by Nicola Vicentino in 1555. Orthotonophonium and archicembalo are musical tuning.

Arthur Joachim von Oettingen (– 5 September 1920) was a Baltic German physicist and music theorist.

Beat (acoustics)

In acoustics, a beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies.

Blend word

In linguistics, a blend—also known as a blend word, lexical blend, or portmanteau—is a word formed, usually intentionally, by combining the sounds and meanings of two or more words.

Cent (music)

The cent is a logarithmic unit of measure used for musical intervals.

See Orthotonophonium and Cent (music)

Chord (music)

In music, a chord is a group of two or more notes played simultaneously, typically consisting of a root note, a third, and a fifth.

See Orthotonophonium and Chord (music)

Diatonic scale

In music theory, a diatonic scale is any heptatonic scale that includes five whole steps (whole tones) and two half steps (semitones) in each octave, in which the two half steps are separated from each other by either two or three whole steps, depending on their position in the scale.

See Orthotonophonium and Diatonic scale

Enharmonic equivalence

In music, two written notes have enharmonic equivalence if they produce the same pitch but are notated differently.

Finger substitution

Finger substitution is a playing technique used on many different instruments, ranging from stringed instruments such as the violin and cello to keyboard instruments such as the piano and pipe organ.

Fourth (music)

In music, a fourth is an interval spanning four staff positions in the musical notation common in Western culture.

Free reed aerophone

A free reed aerophone is a musical instrument that produces sound as air flows past a vibrating reed in a frame. Orthotonophonium and free reed aerophone are free reed aerophones.

Interval (music)

In music theory, an interval is a difference in pitch between two sounds.

See Orthotonophonium and Interval (music)

Interval ratio

In music, an interval ratio is a ratio of the frequencies of the pitches in a musical interval.

See Orthotonophonium and Interval ratio

Just intonation

In music, just intonation or pure intonation is the tuning of musical intervals as whole number ratios (such as 3:2 or 4:3) of frequencies.

Key (instrument)

A key is a component of a musical instrument, the purpose and function of which depends on the instrument.

Key (music)

In music theory, the key of a piece is the group of pitches, or scale, that forms the basis of a musical composition in Western classical music, art music, and pop music. Orthotonophonium and key (music) are musical tuning.

List of third intervals

Third interval may refer to one of the following musical intervals in equal-temperament tuning.

Manual (music)

The word "manual" is used instead of the word "keyboard" when referring to any hand-operated keyboard on a keyboard instrument that has a pedalboard (a keyboard on which notes are played with the feet), such as an organ; or when referring to one of the keyboards on an instrument that has more than one hand-operated keyboard, such as a two- or three-manual harpsichord.

See Orthotonophonium and Manual (music)

Meantone temperament

Meantone temperaments are musical temperaments, that is a variety of tuning systems, obtained by narrowing the fifths so that their ratio is slightly less than 3:2 (making them narrower than a perfect fifth), in order to push the thirds closer to pure.

Pitch (music)

Pitch is a perceptual property that allows sounds to be ordered on a frequency-related scale, or more commonly, pitch is the quality that makes it possible to judge sounds as "higher" and "lower" in the sense associated with musical melodies.

See Orthotonophonium and Pitch (music)

Pump organ

The pump organ or reed organ is a type of organs using free-reeds that generates sound as air flows past the free-reeds, the vibrating pieces of thin metal in a frame.

See Orthotonophonium and Pump organ

Pythagorean comma

In musical tuning, the Pythagorean comma (or ditonic comma), named after the ancient mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, is the small interval (or comma) existing in Pythagorean tuning between two enharmonically equivalent notes such as C and B, or D and C. It is equal to the frequency ratio.
