Oh what a joy is a common language!
OK if diatonic doesn't refer to the obvious derivation as in di'vided then what is the term for playing a different note in and out?
mouth organs, concertinas, melodeons? What describes their facility and distinguishes it from the monotonically keyed?
or did I miss something here?
Were they called bitonic, no surely they are free reeds?
Syntonic (SOED CD ROM - Designating or exhibiting the responsive, lively type of temperament which is liable to manic-depressive psychosis). I hear a few votes there, none platonic though.
tectonic - no that might describe the bellows
Ah! of course twotonic (well it was invented by a German).
cast your votes NOW with a **BG**.
