    Here is a good website to hit for more info about different musical
tuning systems:

    http://www-math.cudenver.edu/~jstarret/microtone.html

    It has a lotta links to more resources for you to dig into...

    BTW I have made several musical scale tunings... one scale that I devised
was used to make a rather large, custom-made* metallaphone (percussion
instrument) : a 13 -note scale with very unequal spacings of intervals (makes
for one truly spicy sounding, dark sounding scale).
