The inner tube of the txistu and instruments of its family has been designed by varying the diameter in different sections of the same (figure 5) in order to influence its air column; this causes the resonance frequencies of the tube to vary. Varying the resonance frequencies of the tube involves the modification of the frequency of the tones that the instrument produces and, consequently, its intervalication. By this procedure, taking as reference the harmonic series, we have adapted the basic intervalica of these instruments to the usual tuning systems in classical music.
