B-- Adjust Setar frets starting with B پردهای سه تار

[NimaSun]

Ok let me get this straight, you play the frequency and then tune your saz accordingly right? Why don't you just use a tuner instead?

Also I was interested in tuning my Santur, I've got the stave notes from a book but how would a semi-flat (koron) look on a tuner? How many cents is it down from 0? Also there is a Koron in brackets, what does that mean?

I've found the answer of your fretting in cent in another of your video, thanx.

But there's still a question remaining concerning the final choice for your personal fretting: theoritical or pragmatical?

1st a note to all: these videos are meant to be a rough guideline for people who have no sense what the intervals should be. One can tune a zither or a piano or adjust the frets on a setar by hearing the tones and matching them by ear. As to your question, I use my own system I guess. First use perfect ratios t get some of the main notes (perfect octave, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd) and the add 90 cents (sometimes less) to the perfect intervals to get the next note's flats (RE+90 cents= Mi bemol).

Then add 140 cents to each note to get the next note's koron (Do +140 cents = Re koron), then use your taste and ear to fine tune things to your liking. You could have gotten the intervals yourself as I I just did and I added the intervals in cents to the comments. i did this by copying the frequencies in Hz, and using 1200Xlog(f2/f1)/log(2) in excel. good luck and I hope this clarified things a bit.

Thanx a lot for your answer and for taking time to write it down, it made things clear...big up !!!

How did you choose your frets adjustments?

I have for ways of adjusting frets (Talâi, Hormoz, Anooshfâr, Hatami/Rankin) and still don't which one to choose.

Is it possible for you to communicate us your fretting in cents rather than in Hz?

Thanx a lot for all your great vids !!!

All my videos are done in B natural (246.9 Hz) pitch and all my setars sound great. The other pitches are the frets. Someone with a santour can tune using this video. Maybe you didn't notice the title of the video.
