Instruments

ChordWizard Gold 2.5 provides direct support for a comprehensive range of fretted string instruments and tunings.

Libraries are supplied for the six most common instruments and tunings, but it is very easy to create and populate new libraries for any of these instruments or tunings, using the New Library process.

All tuning pitches are shown in note+octave notation, where C5=Middle C.  Note that within octaves, the notes are arranged from C to B. So for example, the note below Middle C is B4.
