Effect of frequency, timbre, experience, and feedback on musical tuning skills
Abstract
Subjects with tuning experience were superior to nontuners in a pitch-matching task at all but the lowest of five frequencies tested. Performance was better for adjustment of simple (sine-wave) tones to match simple tones than for adjustment of complex (string-timbre) tones to match simple tones. A comparison of constant errors showed that both tuners and nontuners heard complex tones as sharp relative to simple tones. Additional testing with 2 …
