by notes, not chords

when i enumerate the positions, that is the instruction on how to place your finger

lower do = 2nd set of strings, 1st fret

" re = 2nd set of strings, 3rd fret

" mi = 3rd set of strings (open) or 2nd set of strings, 5th fret

" fa = 3rd set of strings, 1st fret

" so = 3rd set of strings, 3rd fret

" la = 4th set of strings (open) or 3rd set of strings, 5th fret

" ti = 4th set of strings, 2nd fret

do = 4th set of strings, 3rd fret

re = 5th set of strings (open) or 4th set of strings, 5th fret

mi = 5th set of strings, 2nd fret

fa = 5th set of strings, 3rd fret

so = 6th set of strings (open) or 5th set of strings, 5th fret

la = 6th set of strings, 2nd fret

ti = 6th set of strings, 4th fret

higher do = 6th set of strings, 5th fret

" re = 6th set of strings, 7th fret

" mi = 6th set of strings, 9th fret

" fa = 6th set of strings, 10th fret

" so = 6th set of strings, 12th fret

" la = 6th set of strings, 14th fret

" ti = 6th set of strings, 16th fret

if a note is in # or sharp, move 1 fret to the right, if in b or flat, to the left

What is octavina?

The octavina a plucked lute and a member of the chordophone family, and it has has 14 strings and 19 frets. It is played with a plectrum. The appearance of the octavina is quite similar to the guitar in its construction although much smaller in size. This instrument is directly influenced from the laud and bandurria sharing the same tuning. The instruments tuning was influenced from the bandurria and laud who were introduced to the Philippines since the Spanish occupation. The origins of the name octavina remain unclear, it is suggested that the name octavina originates from a bandurria like instrument having up to 6 courses of strings. The name octavina applies to several different instruments including a keyboarded instrument from the 17th century called a spinet. The octavina is played in accompaniment with the laud and bandurria in rondalla music. The tuning is the same as the laud or bandurria although the pitches of the strings are one octave lower then the bandurria.Octavina Tuning F# BB EE AAA ddd ggg
