Re: Digest Number 305

Glen-
The 11 pitches in your scale are evenly spaced, but the
distance from the octave fret to the first fret
above the octave is larger than 1/2 the distance from the nut to the first
fret. The tuning one octave up differs from the 11 pitch tuning of the
lower frets and won't close at the next octave. It's not what would be
called 11tet normally.
Is there a name for this kind of tuning? Didn't someone write
about aliquot (sp?) tuning a couple of years ago?
