[pianotech] Harmonics and book question

[Alexander Lass]

Julia:

I just finished the book you mention.  Not only is this an  
entertaining read, the author backs up the title with several examples  
of his thesis.  From a musician's and technician's point of view, I  
would highly recommend at least skimming through.  I think you will be  
surprised about some of the material.  I studied piano in college and  
took several music history courses; never was a major-semitone or  
minor-semitone mentioned.  All of a sudden it starts to make sense  
after the first chapter.  If you have ever even thought about tuning  
outside of ET, brace yourself!

Happy reading,

Alex
