source file: mills3.txt Date: Thu, 25 Sep 1997 17:05:35 +0200 Subject: et fretting question From: Peter.Blasser@oberlin.edu Why does everyone use 22tet instead of 24tet frets on their instruments? It seems to me, after testing it out on a spreadsheet program, that 22tet does not imitate 4/3, 16/9, even 9/8 well enough. I do see a better imitation or ability to play 7/4, 5/4 and quarter tone tetrachords. has anyone heard a 22tet compared to a 24tet? Is there a noticeable difference? I guess what it all boils down to, is, what sounds best? Thank You. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [Peter Blasser [Oberlin College Mailroom Box #277, 135 W.Lorain St., [Oberlin, Ohio, 44074-1081.
