Re: [Harp-L] intonation

Another resource for people not so faint of heart, 
http://www.justintonation.net/

Mainly for the Just Intonation Primer.  Order it, read it and read it 
again and again and again.  About the 5th time through it will start to 
make sense.  I think the primer is all of $12 plus shipping (free with 
membership in the just intonation network) and no it's not available as 
a download. Luddites, god bless 'em.  You can read the first chapter 
online or download the first chapter and the table of contents as a pdf 
file.


Regarding the advice to just search the archives true but it's a lot 
more useful to point someone in the right direction.  The nature of a 
long lived internet is serial.  We will repeat ourselves.  Yes the 
search function is great and very useful but I like that thing Bobbie 
does where she actually points you at something useful in the archive to 
get you going.  Winslow's links to a reprisal of something he's said 
before also a great technique.  Thanks Mr. Ross for sending folks to the 
single most useful discussion of JI as it applies to harmonica, Pat's 
site.  He had a great post on this subject, just search the archive to 
find it.  Try Pat Missin and just intonation as search terms.  Just 
kidding, http://harp-l.org/pipermail/harp-l/2003-August/msg00234.html 
best thing I've ever seen written on this subject.  It's all here and 
it's wonderfully written.  Pat Missin at his best.  fjm
