source file: mills3.txt Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 06:31:00 +0100 Subject: Steel Guitar Tuning From: "Bob Lee" I'm new to the list, and I've never posted to a mail list before. I hope this works. I'm a steel guitarist. The steel guitar is usually tuned in JI. Somehow the tuning works well in country music, even though there are often 12tet guitars and keyboards in the bands. I'm at a loss to explain this, except to perhaps agree with the gentleman who made a statement about the "limit of human perception". For anyone with an interest in my instrument, I'd like to call your attention to my web page entitled "Just Intonation of the E9th Pedal Steel" at http://wco.com/~quasar/articles/just_e9.html I'm glad I've joined this list. I'm a big fan of the music of Harry Partch, Lou Harrison and Terry Riley. I look forward to learning more about alternate tunings. Thanks for your attention. -b0b- ----- quasar@wco.com (Bobby Lee) http://wco.com/~quasar/ SMTPOriginator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu From: mr88cet@texas.net (Gary Morrison) Subject: re:Chestnut help PostedDate: 10-12-97 14:45:20 SendTo: CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH ReplyTo: tuning@eartha.mills.edu $MessageStorage: 0 $UpdatedBy: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH,CN=Manuel op de Coul/OU=AT/O=EZH RouteServers: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=notesrv1/OU=Server/O=EZH RouteTimes: 10-12-97 14:44:58-10-12-97 14:44:59,10-12-97 14:44:45-10-12-97 14:44:45 DeliveredDate: 10-12-97 14:44:45 Categories: $Revisions: Received: from ns.ezh.nl ([137.174.112.59]) by notesrv2.ezh.nl (Lotus SMTP MTA SMTP v4.6 (462.2 9-3-1997)) with SMTP id C1256569.004B8602; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 14:44:55 +0100 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA11656; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 14:45:20 +0100 Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 14:45:20 +0100 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA11659 Received: (qmail 21161 invoked from network); 10 Dec 1997 05:45:08 -0800 Received: from localhost (HELO ella.mills.edu) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 10 Dec 1997 05:45:08 -0800 Message-Id: Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
