:: The basic idea goes way back. Didn't Harry Partch talk about how a minor triad was an upside down major triad, with the old root becoming the new 5th? IIRC he actually went further and said the 5th *was* the root. My contribution is to show how the fretboard shapes on the Kite Guitar rotate 180 degrees. As they would on any isomorphic fretboard or keyboard. The lattice shapes also rotate, but someone else must have noticed that before. I do like your term Treble-Down Tonality. Please do share any tricks you have! --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 08:04, 24 December 2020 (UTC) | :: The basic idea goes way back.

::: Yep, it sure does go way back- back to Hugo Riemann, and then all the way back to the Ancient Greeks. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 08:10, 24 December 2020 (UTC) | |||
