This thread has been excellent.  Kudos to all who have contributed.
Any chance of getting PAT MISSIN to discuss intonation at a SPAH
Convention????
Richard Sleigh gave a seminar on tuning (JI vs. ET vs. compromise) at
SPAH 2003 and it was fantastic (Mark Ford's sound check
nonwithstanding)..
Judging from the enthusiastic responses to this thread, I think having
Pat weigh in on his favorite topic would be a winner.
