210.OCTAVES TUNING

This is simply the tuning where each string is tuned one octave higher than the previous

Obviously there are limitations due to  the material of strings that have also to be of equal (scale-length) length.

E. g. in 3-string instruments like saz, tambouras, Bouzouki , balalaika , panduri etc

it will be

D2-D3-D4 or C2-C3-C4 or E2-E3-E4 etc

But utilizing digital fretboards like Artiphon  (https://artiphon.com/ )we can even setup 6 strings with octaves tuning

C1-C2-C3-C4-C5-C6  OR  C2-C3-C4-C5-C6-C7 ETC.

THen improvisations as in post 209 will sound beautifully and will resemble a bit the style of Alexey Archipofsky improvisations
