Course (music)

When plucked and stringed keyboard instruments stringed choir called (usually just " choir" called ) two or more belong together strings that are tuned to the same note ( unison or in octaves ) and be perceived as a unit in the game.

Chorus refers to a equipped with choirs instrument. While " doppelchörig " describes an instrument whose choirs are designed on two strings may be about " four-string " both four-stringed choirs, as well as an instrument with four choirs point.

Choirs is the colloquially used plural; in the literature about the pianos can be found throughout the plural chore.

Plucked

Chörige plucked instruments are, for example, baroque guitar, bouzouki, cittern, lute, oud, mandolin, twelve-string guitar. The two strings that make up a choir, are gripped together and posted together.

The mood around the twelve string acoustic guitar is recorded for Ee Aa dd ' gg ' h'h ' e'e ' to indicate that the lower four choirs are tuned in octaves, the two high unison.

Stringed keyboard instruments

In pianos and pianos hammer the reference is only designed einchörig in the bass. Soon the reference is doppelchörig, always has three- in the treble, rarely - also constructed four-string - in experimental designs. The strings within a Chores are always tuned to the same frequency. In the modern wing a kick on the left pedal moves the mechanics to the left so that the hammers strike only one string ( "una corda - game" ); this reduces the volume and changed the tone.

Clavichords were / are strung almost all doppelchörig. Here is / was the ideal of the mood on the same frequency, but were / are minimal upsets against each other as the sound invigorating. When clavichord both strings of a choir are always struck.
