Re: [Harp-L] Just Intonation and Difference Tones




From: "Chris Michalek" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I don't like compromised tunings for harmonica.  Filisko sets them up
so every note is equal. I'm one of the very few pure melody players
on the standard diatonic (not trying to show arrogance), so comments
and theories about compromised tuning do not necessarily apply to me.


Er.. me too. Unless I do it by accident, I almost never play two notes at once. I don't play any harp I buy until I've put it into equal temperament. If I try to play melodies on a harp in any other fine-tuning I hear it acutely and it mortally puts me off. Oddly, I find it harder (though far from impossible) to hear the difference when I listen to recordings of myself.
