ok, I got the bird down, I'm working on a piece of music to demonstrate. 1. The fret placement is actually not as critical as one may think. 2. When I bought...
I posted this earlier but it never got through, second try. I was using a +/-6.776 cents (256/255) accuracy in my analysis of the good dyads in EDOs 4 to 24....
... If you are tempering the higher note in a just interval, in most timbres, the interval will sound slightly better when the higher note is sharpened...
... What do you mean "the same pattern"? Are the outer two strings still two octaves apart? ... So you didn't have to futz around with fret dressing/leveling?...

As many of you know I bought a $50 Woods DW-15 acoustic dreadnought 12 note per octave guitar at Guitar Center, fret wire, and a fret saw. After a couple days...

Just a thought - isn't this a *good* place to talk about a microtonal theory book? I honestly don't understand the problem here.... especially when it seems...

Mike and Carl, Mike wrote a number of points here, and I choose one to tie back to the issue for continuity. From my vantage the problem isn't self-promotion,...

Carl and Mike, you have obviously made up your minds about me and I doubt that there is anything I could say or argue now that will change that. One or two...

Igs, I did a few listening tests and here's what I got. You said that mistuning a 9/7 by 256/255 will produce a much greater level of discordance than...

... Yes, and that's one of the reasons that it can't tolerate nearly as much mistuning as a 5/4. Do you believe your 256/255 threshold still applies to 9/7? ...
