Importance[edit]

Why was Tanaka important? Did anyone ask User:DYLAN LENNON why he created the page? Hyacinth 03:29, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tanaka was a significant figure as a music theorist, see for instance

ttp://www.tonalsoft.com/enc/k/kleisma.aspx

And anyway, he was red-linked. Linking to an article which doesn't exist doesn't work well.

There's more than just me upset about this now. User:Beefman (Carl Lumma) was just remarking on the tuning list that he'd read the aricle recently and thought it was remarkably good.

A better question is why was the article deleted? The deletion process seems to be broken. Gene Ward Smith 04:35, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've started a new version. I hope nothing significant was lost. Gene Ward Smith 05:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Harmonium[edit]

"He constructed an Enharmonium able to play in 53 equal temperament" In the 1890 US patent 443,305, which discloses a keyboard like those on the harmonium in the Kunitachi College of Music collection as well as the ones pictured in the Reed Organ Society database, he wrote "absolutely true musical tune or harmony."

Expansion[edit]

You might want to add his dates of birth and death. Perhaps there is an article in the Japanese Wikipedia that would have more information about him. TruthbringerToronto 04:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
