Hi Mike,
Nice looking web site.
It would have been nice to have some close up pics so we could get a better
idea of the quality of your work.
Cheers from Saskatoon, Canada,
Bruce

The brain perceives melodic intervals differently than harmonic intervals.
It's also something any violinist will tell you. This has been demonstrated
often at conventions and you can do this yourself. Play c3 and then with
that sound in your head tune c5. You'll find that there's a tendency to
sharp the upper note. Similarly double octaves when tuned beatless tend to
sound too narrow when played as melodic intervals.

Howimportant?
I was taught to play both notes of an interval
simultaneously, except maybe in the highest octave, when using
sense of pitch, rather than actual beats, to get the top note
close, then play simultaneously to hear beats. I don't see how
playing the notes in immediate succession ("staggered") will
cause one to tune the interval sharp. Scientifically, I don't
think you're correct on this. The partials don't start beating
until the second note is played, and they will beat the same
speed as when played simultaneously. Seems like an unnecessary
time waste to play them "staggered."

So... you didn't try to give it a "toon-up".. ? (grin)
It would be fun to take for a spin! Very impressive low note.
