Highly recommended. This for me is the logical progression after reading David Doty's "Just Intonation Primer". (I too was better able to understand Partch after reading Doty's book). I believe I bought the last copy of Chalmers' book that the Just Intonation Network Store had. You'd better enquire at the above site. If you get this book, you'll need to get it bound. When it gets the recognition it deserves, maybe the publishers will be in a position to issue it in hard back. In the mean time, buy a copy and take it to a book binder. That way you can get your own copy of this amazing book with scenic binding for just a few extra dollars. It is well worth it. I hope the JIN Store intends to stock more as I know several students who also want their own copy. Greg S SMTPOriginator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu From: "Paul H.
