GUEST,A. Hirt Tech: Tenor violas (16) RE: Tech: Tenor violas 09 Apr 13


Hey Jack,

Fiddle and violin are the same words. A viol is an instrument with 6 strings. A violin is a little viol ("in" being the diminutive-having 4 strings). So fidheal and viol are the same (f is an unvoiced v).

You might get a kick out of this: http://www.academia.edu/2627765/The_European_Folk_Music_Scale_A_New_Theory

It seems to work, but it hurts your head. To hear the sound, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3scougnTfA

You can make or buy one of these things (they still sell them in the Eastern block countries) and play some tunes. You can only play in one "key" but as you end on different notes, you have different "modes.". The 7th partial is really weird.

Cheers,

Andy
