Re: Pitch learning

[Pierre Divenyi <pdivenyi@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think that the most challenging instrument to any pitch theories is 
the gamelan ensemble: partials produced by each metal bloc are 
inharmonic and the (supposed) fundamental frequencies of the bloc 
series define an inharmonic scale that varies from gamelan to 
gamelan, except that they never include simple harmonic ratios. 
During my studies some time ago I read in a respected source that 
there are gamelans in which even the octave is missing.
