Golden Tuning System (GTS)

February 01, 20232 min read

There is an underlying tuning philosophy that has dominated Western thought for the last thousand years: Purity is the goal. Beat-less intervals are perfection. Justly tuned octaves, 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths are what we long for.

But what if we’ve been thinking about it wrong?

 What if instead of focusing on the purity of two notes (as in Just Intonation), we zoom out? What if rather than fixating on the spacing of 12 notes (as in temperaments), we thought bigger? What if interval ratios and octave temperaments are only a small piece of the tuning puzzle?

 Imagine, instead, if we look at how all 88 notes (or more) work together to satisfy what our ears long to hear, in every key. Imagine a tuning system that works for all instruments, across all frequencies. Imagine how a fresh approach to tuning could simplify and beautify even our most challenging tuning scenarios—recording and live music performance.

The Golden Tuning System can do just that.

More dependable in all keys than Just Intonation, more pleasing than Equal Temperament, no “comma pump”, no “Wolf intervals,” no added notes, or split keys. Just 12 familiar tones tuned to the Golden Tuning System.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not.

GTS was created utilizing a mathematical phenomenon found throughout nature: the Golden Ratio. Developed over years of research and backed by thorough testing on common and uncommon stringed instruments, GTS improves upon 12-TET and Just Intonation by aligning the sound waves to create a consistent “pulse” or resonance for each chord, in every key, across the entire musical spectrum.

Who is this for?

While GTS can be enjoyed by the casual musician, its most profound benefits will be experienced by elite musicians and professional recording studios. GTS is best appreciated by those desiring the highest standards of quality and authenticity within the context of multi-instrumental live music performances and studio recordings.
