tunings
Instrument calibration presets
Tunings are the specific pitches to which an instrument's strings or other components are set.
Standard guitar tuning arranges strings from low to high E-A-D-G-B-E, but alternate tunings like drop D or open G create different tonal possibilities: The song requires an unusual tuning.
In audio and automotive contexts, tunings are adjustments made to optimize performance.
