good luck jacob, man you're doing so much good work-- what is it with bassoonists as microtonal impresarios anyway! When the smoke clears and you've got a...
I was wondering how to incorporate the 17/10 dim7 into my framework of septimal 1/3 comma adaptive tuning (provisionally 171edo) and it turns out to be...
I hope you don't call this comma a 'dent' but now it is probably going to stick! :) /^_,',',',_ //^ /Kraig Grady_ ^_,',',',_ _'''''''_ ^North/Western...
How do you put the harmonic minor scale into just intonation, or is this just one of the mysteries of the universe? I thought Asians [Japanese] used a five...
The theoretical Japanese scale (pentatonic) is a Pythagorean chain. that is 3/2 upon 3/2. It is not really related to the harmonic minor but if you wanted it...
No idea what you are thinking about Japanese, but a JI harmonic minor scale is 1 9/8 6/5 4/3 3/2 8/5 15/8 2 with the narrow aug 2nd 75/64 (close to 7/6)....

... The simplest way to think about it is that a Just tuning of the major (diatonic) scale is most often constructed by tuning the three basic triads with pure...

What could possibly be non intuitive ratios. it is what people tune by ear , or at least can very easily. What you say about Japanese music is not in fact...
China and Japan use different scales. they did calculate 53 probably before anyone else. In India they took the Pythagorean chain out to 12 also and then...
the ratios at the bottom get confusing on this page because it drops digits once it get above 10,000. the 6 cents higher allot of these intervals result in...
... Yes, but it's supposed to be a single Pythagorean chain. ... I think the 12 notes (lv) are the entire gamut. You can transpose each pentatonic to any...
Thanks guys! I picked up the supposed connection between the Harmonic Minor and five note Japanese scale in an instructional video. I spent a couple of days...
Neil, Nice guitar work in videos. Keep up the awesome music! Jay...

Once you take the sequence and take it out to each of the 12 pitches you have extended the tuning to 24 places. This is easy to spot cause each diagonal row...
... Before you said Japan and China use different scales, before giving a Japanese genre as an example of Chinese music. Now you say they're the same? Well,...
... Once you can notate all the different schismatic pentatonics, there's no need to go any further. ... Oops, the piece I linked to is pentatonic, but in the...
Japan and China take different subsets of this series, Japan prefers pentatonics with semitones. China does not. If you look at the article on the Guqin in...
well the cultural revolution has instituted western harmonic practice. They have claimed to have invented the major scale with a set of bells where the tuning...
Interesting discussion on what/why the Chinese/Japanese/Tuvans use/choose the scales they may/may not be using, or have used. There are certainly a bunch of...

I agree that that would be of great benefit. What people doing theory and what actually happens out there in the world is often varied. A recent poster pointed...
Hello Tuning, I have been curious for some time what intervals birds sing and what type of intonation they use. I have heard fourths and major and minor...

These are the type of things that are investigated here on this list, and even more others, not on the list. i myself prefer scales where each key has its own...
