For two 17 edo guitars in 17 edo’s version of the whole tone scale. The whole tone scale in 17 equal (edo) is unusual in that being an odd-numbered tuning it takes 3 octaves before the scale comes to its starting point. Each step is three steps of the 17 equal 70.59 cent small step – a total of 211.76 cents. I try to keep myself constrained to the scale but do stray at times. A longer version with percussion is here.
