<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I've got a friend named Ken Rubenstein who
has a
cd out of this amazingly microtonal stuff (indian shenhai's done from
guitar
synths) and LOTS of loops and he has what i believe to be the perfect
vibrato
arm. He can do so much with quarter steps and eighth steps and he only
uses a 12
tone guitar. Although he's been wanting to get a fretless with marks for
quarter
steps. You might want to check him out. If you've got ahold of any old
Guitar
Player magazines...he won the LAST soundpage competition and is in there,
but
his music is now more in the indian and Scottish music's mixed with utter
wierdness. If you'd like i can give you his address.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT face=Arial> To me , this was an
amazing
discovery , because it led me to two
realizations:</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT face=Arial>1. Microtonality can exist in
tonal
music and can be a great tool to make old phrases come
alive.</FONT></FONT><FONT size=3> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>2. No way in hell am I gonna be able to play
Chat
Baker scat-solos without working up</FONT></DIV>
