| <h4>Original HTML content:</h4>
| | Some of the instruments Báthory-Kitsz created are microtonal. For example, in his chamber opera ''Plasm Over Ocean'', the instruments include "Glass Chimes" which are "pitched [[equal tuning|equally]] in a [[macrotonal]] scale", "Brass Chimes" with "sixteen equal pitches 1 1/4 steps apart", and the "Hharp", whose "strings are tuned geometrically, increasing in pitch distance as they move into the treble range".<ref>[http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/plasm/index.html "Plasm Over Ocean" on Dennis Báthory-Kitsz's official website]</ref> |

| | Báthory-Kitsz tends to leave scarce information about the tuning of his instruments, but further research could lead to a longer list of his microtonal instruments. |
