Editing Musical tuning (section)

===Tuning of unpitched percussion instruments===
{{unreferenced section|date=October 2014}}
Many percussion instruments are ''tuned'' by the player, including [[pitched percussion instrument]]s such as [[timpani]] and [[tabla]], and [[unpitched percussion instrument]]s such as the [[snare drum]].

Tuning pitched percussion follows the same patterns as tuning any other instrument, but tuning unpitched percussion does not produce a specific [[pitch (music)|pitch]]. For this reason and others, the traditional terms ''[[tuned percussion]]'' and ''[[untuned percussion]]'' are avoided in recent [[organology]].
