12th root of Phi - NOT!

Well, I had this tugging at the back of my brain so I popped this into Excel.

12th root of Phi is just a mis-tuned 17.

Now to think of something better to do with that $30 strat....

Have I suggested yet 15-equal, which will bring happiness to everyone
within a 50 mile radius of your guitar at all times?

LOL!

I think 15's a much better guitar tuning than it is a piano tuning. Say, don't you have a 15-tone on the way?

...with no octave. Whether that's a good thing or a bad one is your call. :)

I'd still be interested in seeing what you could do with 22. It looks like a good guitar temperament, with familiar yet strange chord shapes. But maybe I'm just a sissy about not using scales with good fifths. :)

Even 20 cents off it sounds like an octave.

Play c and then f an octave + 4th above
