Octave stretch

By the way, Julian Carrillo also said that the 2/1 is not the musically true octave, though I don't recall if he preferred a shrunk or stretched version (probably the latter, I would think).

I forget where I heard this, but I think it was with pure sin waves that people tend to prefer stretched octaves. Either way, I think it was stretched.

To tuning yahoogroups:

Three years ago I proposed a stretched scale ( 1203.3514 cents/2C). Eleven perfect fifths.
0
100.27928
200.55857
300.83785
401.11714
501.39527
601.67571
701.955
802.23428
902.31357
1002.79285
1103.07214
1203.3514 cents

Miss Margo Schulter informed that Mr. Cordier presented exactly the same scale in Paris in 1946.
