: Re: SF Bay Area JI piano tuner (Carl Lumma?)

I missed the non diatonic preference.
But yes i am aware of the different ways one can do 12. i ran through and dismissed many of the ones up as i was concerned with a scale that was going to be put in stone , so to speak , on a reed organ. at least this way when i learned a scale, i was able to have something i was able to use in many different ways.
Meta pelog happen to be a 12 tone scale also , which is pretty far from 12 as is even a nine tone mavila or take it out to 12 if you wish. I had and used extensively a xylophone tuned to two 5-7-9-11 hexanies a 3/2 apart being a subset of the eikosany
which has to be the farthest diatonic

This is quite a good scale too . it is amazing it was over looked although i am not sure exactly of all the ones Canwright did.
It is a helix. like these http://anaphoria.com/hel.PDF
so it might be called Bigler's Helix or Helix of Bigler. or of Canwright in the space above

Personally I like the following scale (don't know if it has a name) which
has the 11 and 13 in two keys (in this case C and G):

>>C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B

>>33/32 9/8 39/32 5/4 21/16 11/8 3/2 13/8 27/16 7/4 15/8

I like this better than Canright's scale, which, if I've got it right, only
has the 11-limit in one key rather than two.
