Would a 22TET page be wanted?

Howdy!

As y'all know, I'm working on learning about
microtonal music in general, from more of a
practical standpoint as opposed to a hard
theoretical standpoint (although I am learning
quite a bit of theory). I'm also learning
how to work on guitars and using microtonal
music as an inspiration to help me do so.

I think I've decided to use 22TET as my first
experimental electric guitar neck. I've been
researching a few tunings, and playing with
CSound, and have come to that conclusion
(it's not set in stone yet, but I'm 90% sure).
I've collected a lot of articles and links to
pages on the net about 22TET, and I think I'll
make a page about it, if anyone else is
interested. I'd love to have some of you who
have written to me (i.e. Peter Blasser, Kris
Peck, etc.) concerning 22TET to write articles
or notes or send pics of 22TET instruments to
me for the page.

Is this a stupid idea? Is it a great idea?
In the middle? Lemme know.

Thanks!

Count me in! I hope you include a link to my articles,
http://www-math.cudenver.edu/~jstarret/Erlich.html. I would be happy to also
send you a picture of my 22-tone, 7-string guitar and scores of some short
pieces I have written (would anyone volunteer to convert these to MIDI
and/or CSound? I tried loading Peter Blasser's "Rocky" but it didn't work .
. .)

You guys should try to get in touch with Morris Moshe Cotel, he's a prof in
Brooklyn, I believe, and wrote a major two-piano work in 22-tET that got
rave reviews (around 1980, I think).
