larry!!...holy sacred cow.....first of all, i have to say, this is just an awsome reply!

talk about syncronicities......there is alot of light in your reply and i relate particularly to alot of it...

stevie ray vaughan was and still is one of my guitar heroes.....he and jimi are the ones that made me tune do e flat. i have been playing like this for years and it does make a big difference. regular tuning always seemed a bit stiff to me. its awsome that you know reese, he is just great! and was the best and only addition the band needed to give it some different color/direction, especially live!

also, talking about borobubur, ive been there!...i had the chance to go around the globe twice for 15 years. my work especially, brought me to funky places,(im a sound engineer). apart from producing,recording,mixing jazz albums, for 15 years, i was specializing in doing sound for documentaries and especially funky and dangerous assingments. i was in eygpt in luxor the week after the 40 tourist got shot....also did a documentary on maneater bengal tigers in india......lots of crazy stuff.
so anyways, yea, all the info you gave there on 432 is awsome...i cannot do anything but tune to this reference. ill try it for a couple of weeks. also, its true that alot of other frequencies are played on one instrument, and that these do not nessesarly fit into sacred scales, but everything is relative. the fact that regular guitar tuning has a mathematical relation between strings, if the a=432, then the rest should fall into place.
its really amazing how everything is related, now i have got to be the worst person as far as math is concerned.....i could not save my life with a simple arithmetics....oh how i wish i was enlightened mathimatically speaking, that could help me visualize it all.

in all the stuff im learning here since my "awakening" 2 months ago, this reply by far is the most rewarding for me so far!!

thanks alot for that
