Of course, arguably the best feature of 12-TET is that it's practically universal, at least in the Western world. I don't need any special equipment or techniques to use it, and I can play in it with any other musician I want to, without having to lecture them on theory. The 12-TET "community" is huge, and that means people can organize themselves within it according to musical style...and can also spend their time figuring out how to make music in it, rather than spending so much of it just trying to map out the space.

Now that I'm comfortable admitting all the great things about 12-TET, I really can't justify pursuing other tunings with any amount of seriousness. 12-TET is where the theory led me, so I no longer have use for the theory. So, I encourage all people newly entering the field of microtonality to really take a long, hard look at 12 and try to figure out what they honestly don't like about it, and what they actually hope to get out of any alternatives. And I encourage anyone who's been in the field for a long time to take a long, hard look at what they've //done// with microtonality, and assess whether it's really succeeded in giving them what they want, in a way that 12-TET couldn't have. There's a possibility that you might find--as I have--that no, actually, microtonality hasn't been serving you. Don't be scared to admit it, because it is absolutely possible!</pre></div>
