Paul!
Yes if i used your scale i would use this. It is similar to my 3 black 4 black 16 tone
scale where the basic scale is a 7 tone that first by coincidence also first appears on the
black keys! Neither of these scale i would imagine would be for beginners:) BTW I would
probably color texture code some of the keys to make the visual overload easier.
