[QUOTE="hutchphd, post: 6608018, member: 635497"] This is a very interesting subject and you will learn a lot . It is much broader and more complicated than you may know and I recommend that you first need to focus your inquiry. There are really two aspects to your question and you will need to choose one or the other (both are fascinating). One has to do with western diatonic scale musical theory, the "circle of fifths" and the idea of "even tempering" the scale. It turns out that one can produce [B]perfect [/B]thirds and fifths (i.e. a major chord) for only one Key at a time. If the key of C Major is in "perfect tune", F# Major will not be. The other has to do with the tambre (timbre) of a note produced by various instruments i.e why do instruments sound different even for the same note. This is linked to the overtone structure. Here is a good starting question: why do an oboe,English horn and clarinet sound different? Your choice. Have fun [/QUOTE]
