<<I have to disagree. Though I haven't read William Sethares' book yet, I
can
say with certainty from my own experience that just intonation definitely
does offer special advantages with many metallophone timbres, despite the
presence of some non-harmonic partials.>>...

Speaking of experience, the most persuasive part of Sethares' book to me is
not in the reading but in listening to the enclosed CD. Striking examples
of the
theory in his text!
