While working on a webpage on how to approximate just intonation on fretless bass by using 72-edo (dividing every 'fret' into sixths), I decided to add some...

If we take a septimal schismic tuning of the fifth of 11264^(1/23), or 702.231 cents, and tune 23 sucessive fifths, we get a wolf of exactly 16/11. The fifth...
