Calculate mbira tine lengths for target tunings with AI material resonance modeling

EducationFree

MbiraKey AI calculates the required tine lengths for mbira keys to produce target pitches based on the specific metal alloy, tine width, thickness, and bridge mounting configuration. The system models the nonlinear relationship between tine length and pitch that makes equal-length increments produce unequal interval changes. Builders creating new instruments receive a complete cutting template with tine dimensions for their chosen tuning system.
