But also it's half length
It's 1/3rd
It's 1/4th 
and so on, ad infinitum
each vibration less powerful.
What happens when I half the length of the string?
It is the varying power of each vibration which creates the tone of a sound
And it is these divisions of a string, or pitch, or frequency, which all tuning systems are based upon.
Just intonation is the truest representation of these divisions. ]]> 2016-09-21 14:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/westonmusic/pitchtheory/wish/125428506 westonmusic https://padlet.com/westonmusic/pitchtheory/wish/125435161 2016-09-21 15:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/westonmusic/pitchtheory/wish/125435161 westonmusic https://padlet.com/westonmusic/pitchtheory/wish/125435448 One octave ]]> 2016-09-21 15:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/westonmusic/pitchtheory/wish/125435448 westonmusic https://padlet.com/westonmusic/pitchtheory/wish/125435556 One octave divided into equal]]> 2016-09-21 15:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/westonmusic/pitchtheory/wish/125435556 westonmusic https://padlet.com/westonmusic/pitchtheory/wish/125436232 One octave divided into equally sized steps

Developed to smooth out dissonance inherent within Just intonation, all intervals in equal temp. are slightly different to those in just
Pianos are tuned like this, with some differences...
