Whoops... did I say that?.. I'm now awake and you're all asleep. So forgive
me I'm not a musician, to explain, if C - C is  an octave at 8 notes,  add
a 3rd which is to E is a 10th,  add a fifth to an octave you get 12th, so
what is it when you add a minor 7th - Bflat ?

What I was trying to say is two octaves less a tone - a m14th?, point is
playing those in the extreme base you get a running beat rate decrease as
you go down which you can hear and tune against

Am I really wasting my time with all this?
