Thanks for the reply man!!! I'm just dashing a few lines as I have to sleep!
I visited the Just Intonation Network and I found it really interesting. I just wish they had more on there.

I listened to the mp3s for comparison and was struck even before I read the accompanying PFDs by just how out of tune some of the tempered intervals really sound!!!!

I am really keen on the idea of taking plenty of modern music based in one key and playing it on justly tuned instruments- like blues etc.

Also, If I am right here, if a piece of music did have a few key changes would it not be possible to devise, using today's synths a tuning system specifically for that piece music so as to encompass as many whole numbered ratios as possible?????

Also... since you seem to know your stuff... in the pfd next to the MP3 downlaods on the Just Intonation Network site what do the symbols that look like a C with a line through mean?? And why are all the figures next to Tempered a whole no. whereas next to Just they aren't????? It baffles me.
