more just intonation

Hey folks...I admit I didn't follow the defining JI post real
closely, but it seemed to generate a lot of interest. I just (ha) was
digging around in my old tuning papers, and found the 1st issue of
Reinhard's Pitch mag, autumn 1986, in which Jon Catler, certainly a
maestro of tuning knowledge, wrote an article...he says..."The term Just
Intonation refers to any system of tuning that exclusively uses the pure
intervals of the harmonic series as a basis." Seems mighty simple to me,
when put like that...in fact, I always thought that definition was
exactly what JI meant...Hstick

Hi Neil!

I believe the problem, though, is that those little guys get so
"teeny tiny" intervalically as we get further and further out, that
some people can start doing "wacky" things with them... like
even 12-tET!!!
