>In terms of beat speeds, the 3rds and 6ths beat relatively slowly in the middle and bass of the piano, compared to their speeds higher up the keyboard.  4ths, 5ths, and octaves of course are slower, and 12ths are really an octave plus a fifth -- they beat quite slowly.  Beat speeds of course can be calculated, but no, I've never heard of a device that counts them.
