The most famous example of the tonality diamon
The most famous example of the tonality diamond as a practical layout for an instrument is Harry Partch's "Diamond Marimba," which uses the 11-odd-limit tonality diamond exactly. This idea was explored further with Partch's "Quadrangularis Reversum," and by Cris Forster with his [[13-odd-limit]] Diamond Marimba.
