A pentatonic framework, as elucidated in Kite Giedraitis's [http://www.tallkite.com/AlternativeTunings.html Alternative Tuning guide], is far more amenable to interseptimal intervals that the traditional Western heptatonic framework. In a pentatonic framework, there are 5 categories of intervals in the octave rather than 7, into which interseptimals fit much more cleanly: | A pentatonic framework, as elucidated in Kite Giedraitis's [http://www.tallkite.com/AlternativeTunings.html Alternative Tuning guide], is far more amenable to interseptimal intervals that the traditional Western heptatonic framework.
