==History==

<span class="commentBody">Porcupine temperament/scales were discovered by [[Dave Keenan]], but didn't have a name until [[Herman Miller]] mentioned that his Mizarian Porcupine Overture in 15-tET had a section ~~where it "~~pumps" the 250:243 "comma." Although this music did not use a Porcupine MOS or MODMOS (which would have 7 or 8 notes), the name was adopted for such scales as well, once the essentially one-to-one relationship between vanishing commas and sequences of DE scales was fully evident. It was clear that even though Herman's piece was in 15, 22 was a porcupine tuning par excellence, and that was an interesting development in itself.</span>
