Gotcha. That makes more sense that way. >>If anything, >>the West started with Pythagorean tuning, and progressed from there through >>schismatic Well, OK. I guess that gets down to the question of how far you want to go back in your history before you call it a historical basis. Analogously, I'm not *REALLY* 1/4 Swedish, 1/4 Finnish, 1/8 German (etc.) because if you go back far enough, all humans are entirely of African descent. But anyway, I stopped at syntonic tunings because that's the first point (in 14th-century England I think it was) where triads were first used as a consonance, which is what we mostly accept to be true today.
