Ken Lorenzen, a former Phase Linear employee, and seller of the entire PL rack that Mike bought, has some interesting observations that you guitar players may be bable to help with. Here is an e-mail received from him.....
Hi Lee,</SPAN>
All musical notes when played with other musical notes simultaneously interfere with each other causing a distortion or warble in the sound. They when harmonized do not do it smoothly. For centuries people have been looking for the musical scale that doesn’t interfere including Pythagoras, Bach, etc. I have found the perfect music scale that doesn’t interfere and provides a smooth adding of all the frequencies to infinity. I don’t know what to do with this information now but here it is. Attached is a sound bite of several notes or frequencies combined and producing no distortion. These are using the 515.1 Hz starting frequency.</SPAN>

You may want to start with the volume low.</SPAN>
Sound with these frequencies:</SPAN>
36.2625</SPAN>
70.3989</SPAN>
136.67</SPAN>
265.328</SPAN>
515.1</SPAN>
1000</SPAN>
1941.37</SPAN>
I know how I would describe it, but let me know what you think.</SPAN>
So now for something completely different; The difference between PI = 3.141 (a circle) and PHI = 1.618 (the golden ratio) is .5151. This is the multiplier for the expanding spiral or wavelength, showing how much it expends each cycle or 360 degrees. So I took the note #5 of 515.1 Hz (lower C) and multiplied by .5151 to get the next note #4 etc. or on the revers / .5151 to get the next note #6. This seems more logical. Try these notes on your guitar and see if they do not interfere or distort as they say.

He included a 30 second recording
</SPAN>of these frequencies all at the same time, and while not a pleasant sound it does not, on first listen exhibit distortion that I can detect with the ear...
I have e-mailed him back and asked if he had a you tube account to wqhre we could link the recording, if not I'll upload it and link to mine.
I have asked him to join in the fun here as I'm sure we'll have a few questions, hopefully he will...
