Scale of the Day: E Pythagorean Lydian diminished 5

EPythagoreanLydianDiminished5

The E Pythagorean Lydian diminished 5 Scale. It's been a while since there's been a 'scale of the day' with the Pythagorean comma. It's one of my favorite intonational anomolies that has the diminished fifth 22.46-cents lower than the augmented fourth, creating the unusual situation of adjacent tones on an ascending scale that physically descend.
