In turned out, they were just repeating what someone else had told them and they didn't know more than that. In Ancient Greek Music published by Oxford, the author, West, says in the preface or introduction (I'm on the other side of the ocean from my personal library at the moment)that he is not a musician; he says in the book that Schlesinger's Greek Aulos is a frightening book. The author, West, goes on to say that Schlesinger ignored the Elgin flute, even though there are quite a few references to it in The Greek Aulos, including Schlesinger's measurements of it (though she was not allowed to use calipers to measure the holes). She has been shunned for several reasons. The book is very demanding and most people don't want to be bothered. Second, it challenges theories that actually are fanciful. <br /><br />In the 1980s, a friend built a 256 matrix synthesizer for playing different tunings and scales. While he was working on it, I suggested that in the meantime he program tunings of Schlesinger's ratios for the Greek modes on his electric keyboard. Those who had a chance to hear them, thought each had a powerful character.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07080083387572817325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007153105280643396.post-37104018142284028792016-02-28T14:25:03.646-08:002016-02-28T14:25:03.646-08:00Most all ancient scales are based on the subharmon...Most all ancient scales are based on the subharmonic series because of the use of equal divisions of string lengths. This is not to say that subharmonics were not developed into elaborate systems of partial sets. While it is stated that reeds differ than wind pipes , i am awaiting to see an illustration of that.Kraig Gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234783065045199904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007153105280643396.post-35816564673465896042014-03-12T21:58:44.793-07:002014-03-12T21:58:44.793-07:00Shunned because?Shunned because?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636417889913760743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007153105280643396.post-1363538863662704332014-01-12T12:30:32.288-08:002014-01-12T12:30:32.288-08:00Mari Kimura plays Undertones on her violin with ea...Mari Kimura plays Undertones on her violin with ease (just do a YouTube search).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00897144288980517367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007153105280643396.post-53074596328774486912013-10-14T17:25:04.644-07:002013-10-14T17:25:04.644-07:00boy this one really brain punched meboy this one really brain punched meAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14226593020978133857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007153105280643396.post-28325585663769220502012-10-21T15:01:59.428-07:002012-10-21T15:01:59.428-07:00Actually, Schlesinger's theory is the only one...Actually, Schlesinger's theory is the only one that makes sense of what ancient authors, especially Plato and Aristotle, say about the ethos of the ancient Greek modes.Old Hellenisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371341473703919959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007153105280643396.post-53664769360073662592011-02-15T16:25:02.910-08:002011-02-15T16:25:02.910-08:00Undertones are real!

In vocal-ventricular mode phonation (Tibetan chant), in which the ventricular folds vibrate in a whole-number division of the frequency of the vocal folds, at least the second and third undertones can be realized by the human voice. Cowell in "New Musical Resources" references some experiments performed by a Russian researcher confirming the acoustic reality of undertones. I assume there is more current scholarship.Owen Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08443000412131893291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007153105280643396.post-34692187161964267432011-02-15T07:24:35.166-08:002011-02-15T07:24:35.166-08:00How dose Pan fit into this harmonic situation?How dose Pan fit into this harmonic situation?Display Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10807477957054249999noreply@blogger.com
