Hello,

I learned last weekend that Michael Harrison of Faust Harrison Pianos
devised and rebuilt an existing grand for extended Just Intonation. This
Harmonic Piano apparently works through a multiplexing arrangement; it
is single-strung and employs the unachorda stop to shift between two
12-tone pitch sets.

A brief overview of his work is presented at
http://imusic.com/showcase/contemporary/michaelharrison.html

and his cd "From Ancient Worlds" is available from the Just Intonation
Society at http://www.dnai.com/~jinetwk/jistore.html

Regards,


Clark
