A method of tuning a fixed interval musical instrument, comprising:
- identifying a fundamental note of the fixed interval musical instrument, wherein the fundamental note comprises a fundamental note frequency;
- generating a major second note comprising a major second note frequency from the fundamental note by multiplying the fundamental note frequency by 1.125 to generate the major second note frequency;
- generating a major third note comprising a major third note frequency from the fundamental note by multiplying the fundamental note frequency by 1.26 to generate a major third note frequency;
- generating a fifth note comprising a fifth note frequency from the fundamental note by multiplying the fundamental note frequency by 1.5 to generate the fifth note frequency;
- configuring a first fixed interval of the fixed interval musical instrument to generate the major second note frequency;
- configuring a second fixed interval of the fixed interval musical instrument to generate the major third note frequency;
- and
- configuring a third fixed interval of the fixed interval musical instrument to generate the fifth note frequency.
