The Nydanalyzer

The Nydanalyzer is a cut-out model which allows the following:

  • Measure intervals
  • See how Pythagorean tuning works
  • Find the notes belonging to chord symbols
  • Identify enharmonic equivalents
  • Examine scales, keys and modes

    Tip: If you want a smaller version of the Nydanalyzer - simply reduce the size when printing it out.
