Harry Partch Instruments
Harry Partch was an American composer, music theorist, and creator of musical instruments. He was also one of the first 20th-century composers in the West to work systematically with microtonal scales. He built custom-made instruments in these tunings on which to play his compositions, and described his theory and practice in his book "Genesis of a Music".
Back in the fall of 2013, I had the opportunity to visit the Partch Studio at Montclair State University in Montclair, NJ to take some photos of these fascinating instruments.
