Original Wikitext content:
=The Bohlen-Pierce scale= The **Bohlen-Pierce** (**BP**) scale is a [[nonoctave]] scale, a 13-part equal division of the perfect-twelfth ([[3_1|3/1]]) or [[Tritave]] (**13edt**). Each step is about 146 ¢, making it a [[macrotonal]] scale. It is closely related to the rank two temperament [[Sensamagic clan|bohpier]]. It was discovered independently by [[Heinz Bohlen]], [[John Pierce]], [[Kees van Prooijen]], and perhaps others, usually noticed for its good approximation of odd-number just ratios 3:5, 5:7, 3:7, etc. [[image:http://www.ronsword.com/images/Sword_BP_guitars.jpg width="543" height="422"]] [[image:http://ronsword.com/bpguitar.JPG width="171" height="224"]] [[Ron Sword]] and his 9-string 13-tone BP Touchstick/Guitar crossover instrument (aka: "//the Bohlen-Box//") **Triple Bohlen-Pierce** Proposed by [[Paul Erlich]], is the Triple Bohlen-Pierce Scale, or 39th root of 3. It approximates additional odd harmonics and can be used in a variety of ways, for both just intonation chords and harmonies, as standard Bohlen-Pierce scale interlocking three times with calm sounding quarter-tones, and for various JI modulations.
