Yamaha vs Casio digital piano - is there an objective comparison? totally agree with "feel" being the most important criteria. And you need to get to compare that feel with a real piano keyboard. |

The relationship between music theory and physical phenomena essentially, any piece of metal can have its first partials tuned. Whether it is interesting or not to tune it to produce something else as a major or minor chord is probably debatable. If you have something else as a fifth for the 2nd partial you'll get somthing really weird. Ditto for the 5th partial, for which you want a major of minor third. Outside of this you have instruments with a continuous spectrum, in which by definition all chords can be heard :-) Also added info in the answer. |

What is a 13th chord? @Gauthier well, if you want to play a 11 on a 13 chord with the 3rd, you're going to have problems making it sound correct. Either you have a sus4, in when case I agree you won't have a #11, or you're playing the 3rd, in which case you either omit the 11, or play a #11. The 4th is very tricky in a Mixolydian mode because the 3rd is such a strong note, and the potential for a b9 is very high. Better be on the safe side and omit the 11 or raise it IMO (at least in a jazz context). Maybe not 100% true, but certainly 98%. |

What is a 13th chord? A F13 chord has a #11, not a 11 (ie e B not a Bb) |

What is a 13th chord? @VarLogRant: yep, but you still need to change "11" to "augmented 11" or "#11" (it's a B, not a Bb). |

What is a 13th chord? 1. Don't drop the 3rd on a dominant 7th chord, otherwise you loose the dominant characteristic of the chord which comes from the tritone between the 3rd and 7th. Drop the 5th, then drop the root (and leave it to the bass player). 2 on a dom 7 chord, you want a #11, otherwise the 11 conflicts with the 3rd (awfully sounding b9 interval) |

Repairing cymbals? except that buying new ones will not get the original sound back (the sound evolves over time, and two "identical" cymbals probably won't sound exactly the same)... :-) |
