Info for Scordatura (The out of tune consonance)

“Scordatura” is the technic, when the musician changes the standard or traditional tuning of an instrument. It has a great tradition on plucked stringed instruments. Altering a tuning changes the tension of the strings and the soundboard, which results a different sound character of the guitar. The player has the freedom to lower the tuning for more depth and warmth in the sound sacrificing some volume, to tune higher in order to achieve more brightness, brilliance and volume or to tune in both direction to completely mix up and change the sound. In most cases not only the sound will be different, but the fingerings and grips on the fretboard as well, because the intervals between the strings are modified, which can be disturbing and a great challenge for the musician.
