Hey there, Kite! I saw you just posted something on the diatonic scales for the Kite Guitar, so I'm wondering whether or not you've seen [[User:Aura/Aura's Diatonic Scales|my own take on the diatonic scales]]. Have you? Truth be told I suspect you won't like it, as I prefer 27/16 to 5/3 among other things, but all the same, I can't help but wonder... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 01:39, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

:Haven't seen it until just now, thanks for sharing it with me. I like your "Ionic Dorian" naming system, very logical. Yeah, I prefer 5/3 to 27/16, and I don't like 40/27. My approach, like many others, is to use small pitch shifts to avoid such ratios. Thus certain notes are "fuzzy". This lets me get all 6 triads in tune. But even with fuzziness, I find the dorian and locrian scales to be hard to tune well. (As you can see from my Kite Guitar scales page.)

:In your dorian scale, I would use 32/27 in place of 77/64. Smaller odd limit, much smaller prime limit too, and avoids a wolf 5th. In your locrian scale, I would use 7/5. Much more consonant than 64/45.

:But hey, to each their own. Can't have microtonalists agreeing on too much! :)
