Each octave of the harmonic series introduces something new. The first
octave contains only the fundamental (1) and is the single source of
all. The second octave adds the 5th (2:3), which is the One
hypostatizing and knowing itself. The third octave (4:5:6:7) not only
begins the process of differentiating the space between the One and
its hypostases (5) but also the space that manifestation projects
forward in its return to the One (7). In a musical context, this
octave introduces the chord, not as triad but as "dominant seventh",
showing that the brothers in the 20th century, in making this chord
the fundamental chord of the blues, have their pulses firmly attuned
to the cosmos. The fourth octave (8-15) I call the "diatonic harmonic
series scale" since its 8 notes is in the realm of our 7 note scale.
The 16 note fifth octave (16-31), I would call the Chromatic Harmonic
Series scale for the same reason.

This guitar was designed to explore the 4th octave or "diatonic"
harmonic series scale. The strings are tuned to partials 2-3-4-5-6-7
which not only sounds beautiful on its own, but allows for many
different combinations of notes to be reached. For example, the set of
"triads" built on each note of the scale.

Very good guitar playing and really good work. I do like your guitar playing skill, Dante. I also admire the work you put into modifying your guitars for the different scales.

Thanks Prent! When you have your first string tuned to 7, its bound to
feature prominently.
