Mistuning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music mistuning is most generally the action of incorrectly tuning or the state of being out of tune. Mistuning is also the displacement of a pitch a semitone away from its standard position in a stable tonal structure such as the most common perfect fourth or fifth, which mistuned in the opposite directions produce a tritone. A portion of the alpha chord:E-G-C-Eb, may be considered an E major chord: E-G#-B-E, whose members are mistuned. (Wilson 1992, p.9)
