So, what is different in these other scales?
Except that the pianos will have different layouts for their keys, there will be certain differences:
- intervals can sound sweeter or harsher, depending on the characteristics of the scale
- intervals can be perfectly tuned, or only approximately in tune
- there can be more or less available chords
- transposing and modulation can become more or less difficult
- and of course, different scales lend themselves to different purposes
- instruments will be slightly different
However, there also is an opposite effect:
- the available instruments will affect what kind of scales are probable to evolve
- the kind of music will affect what kind of scales are probable to evolve
