How does the Tres Cubano Scale Harmonizer work?

The Cuban tres is an instrument of Cuban music with 3 double-string courses (bordón and prima). Its standard tuning is G-C-E (GCE), equivalent to the three bass strings of the classical guitar.

Select a root note and a scale to see all diatonic chords — triads and sevenths — with chord diagrams for every position on the tres cubano fretboard.

Use the interactive fretboard diagram to visualize the full scale. Adjust tuning (Open C, Havana Open D, Modern) and fret count with the controls.
