Hi dear yahya

Your reply was about a month ago, I think, under another thread:
/tuning/topicId_67063.html#67063

Is that the one? You explained the structure well. And *in practice*
it's simpler to divide up a fretboard, say, every 20mm, which of
course makes the higher notes as easy to play as the lower ones. Such
a procedure doesn't produce simple harmonic proportions, except
accidentally. This is fine, if that's what you want; is it?

The music you made with this tuning is good enough justification for
using it! Someone with your gifts could make interesting and dramatic
music from a random collection of old tin cans. Perhaps tuning isn't
your most important technical tool.
