I just received the Catler Bros. new CD in the mail. There don't seem to be
nearly enough frets on J.C.'s guitar to make 49/oct -- is it that if all the
notes were transposed to one octave, there'd be 49?

Sorry the event wasn't more popular -- I hope to be contributing my own
22-tone jazz/rock in some future Microstock. While Neil's tunings are the
best ETs for 5-limit harmony, and Catler favors purely tuned 13-limit
sounds, my own preference falls somewhere in between, with 7-limit harmony
predominating and excursions up to the 11-limit. Although I won't deny their
musical usefulness, 13-limit sounds have yet to impress me as "consonant" in
the slightest. Right now I'm still fumbling with a keyboard, barely able to
reach a "perfect fifth" with one hand, can't wait for the guitar to arrive .
