Re: (OT) non-octave scales (was Re: various infotaining natlang tidbits)

Just out of curiosity, if one found an old Casio keyboard at a yard-sale,
say, would it be possible to re-do the tuning to _n_ tones to the octave (or
whatever)?  Or is that likely a job for Mr. Electronics Genius, which I am
not?

From another angle-- I think I've mentioned my attempt to build a
zither-type instrument tuned 10 to the octave.  Sounds like Jonathan's
JI-Calc could generate the tones necessary to tune that (so frets could be
dispensed with).  Am I correct?
