Be careful with your typing - apparantly this was supposed to go to the tuning-math list...

Cheers,

nope, didn't send it there at all. sent one copy to the big
list, and another one here for folks who shun the big list.

sure it's math, but after all, it i s about instruments,
which i thought would be something the folks on this list
might want to read. no?

Hi Jon, while he does not lurk on the tuning-math list, this lurker at least
enjoyed the Hall/Josic link. Possibly because it led to a variety of
math-less sites.

And indeed a lot of the Hall maths were well summarized and readable by the
"honest man". Indeed, her B.A. was in classical Greek, so she may be, as I
am, more at ease with "phero oyso enengkon enenokha" than with "the edge of
an edge has no edge".

Greetings

Dominique

Dominque,

Excellent that you enjoyed the Hall/Josic piece (see my little note to Monz). It was mostly tongue-in-cheek that I tweaked him, and I'm not too worried about inundations of formulae...

:) Well put!

Cheers,
Jon

Monz,

No harm, no foul. My breeze through it came across more equations than instrumental resources, but maybe it's just my allergies kicking up! :)

Cheers,
Jon
