Hi Steve,"Only that it's rather silly to relate them to the music scale
itself." ... "Particularly given that the western, even-tempered
scale you're relating them to isn't universal."This particular phenomena is one that clicks with me so I
have to disagree. One of the phenomena I hear with too much
distortion is that things sound out of tune. When John Curl
mentioned that harmonics are out of tune with the piano, it
was an AHA moment. If you've ever tuned a ham radio receiver
thru a station playing music, and listened to the splatter
of side bands...that's the same effect magnified 100x."Rather it's how the harmonics effect the tones of the instruments."
I agree with this, and am thinking of the violin or clarinet makers
who looked for just the right recipe of varnishes and woods to make
their particular instrument sound just right. A couple hundred years
of development to get it just right. Subtle to say the least. Passing
those beautifully constructed tones thru an amp, and what comes out
the other side? Can we say that those tones will be treated with the
same care that they were originally produced? ... Can you say don't
cast your pearls before swine.
