The harmonic scale is typically used as an alternative tuning for regular twelve-tone pianos to play spectral or [[otonal]] music. Versions of the scale are known to have been used by composers [[Ezra Sims]], [http://www.ekmelic-music.org/en/person.php?n=RH Franz Richter Herf], and especially [[Wendy Carlos]] in her ''Beauty and the Beast'' (1986) and [[Ben Johnston]] in his works for retuned piano.
