A cable and pulley operated membrane tuning system suitable for drums and other musical instruments, as well as other applications requiring tunable membranes. The cable is threaded through pulleys or guides attached the mounting assembly of the membrane, and tightened by means of a tensioning mechanism. The system tensions membrane by varying the tension on the cable. The system may be employed in single-membrane systems or in multiple membrane systems.
