[Harp-L] Equal Temperment

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

(On a C harp) are you talking about playing the C at hole 1 blow  
together with the C at hole 7 in order to get a ghost note simulating  
the C at hole 4?

Or did you really mean a "third" like an E?   Cause I don't  
understand how an E would be possible.

By "THIRD"  I was referring to ANOTHER note besides the two notes  
being played, NOT the third degree of the scale.  Since octaves are  
tuned the same in ET or JI, if octaves are played  the ghost note  
they produce will be the same whether the harp is JI or ET.  Frankly,  
I don't know what note that ghost tone would be equivalent to. So,  
no, i was not trying to say that playing a couple of C's would  
generate an E as a ghost tone.
