[John L Marshall]

Sorta right, sorta wrong.

Don is correct.

1    fundemental
2    octave
3    octave + fifth
4    two octaves
5    two octaves + major third
6    two octaves + fifth
7    two octaves + harmonic minor seventh
8    three octaves
9    three octaves + major tone
10    three octaves + major third
11    three octaves + ??
12    three octaves + fifth
13    three octaves + ??
14     three octaves + harmonic minor seventh
15    three octaves + major seventh
16    four octaves


Take care,
