Aww... how quaint! Don't you worry your pretty little head about it and go back to playing with your Fruity Loops.

aw what a wonderful poll idea!!! <3 cruts

Zing, I guess.

I don't think you can discount the octave! The dissonance of a major second is harsher than the dissonance of a major ninth, etc etc.

focus on the harmonic quality

Well then it's perfect fifth. Which, erm, you're never actually going to hear anywhere...

wait:

3 (perfect fifth)
5 (major third)

lol oops?

(also you will hear perfect fifths in vocal music if the ppl singing know how to tune)

not a zing!
xxxpost

Yeah it was, no worries tehresa.

lol ooops learn xpos rabes

Voted for a third. Especially fundamental and the 4th harmonic!

kinda feeling 11 right now

wait:

3 (perfect fifth)
5 (major third)

lol oops?

I don't think that's an oops -- the third harmonic sounds a 5th above the fundamental and the fifth harmonic sounds a major 3rd above the fundamental.

Also any instrument that doesn't have like frets or keys or valves can play true intervals -- so voices, bowed strings, uh I guess theremins and maybe some others that I'm not thinking of.

Anyway I choose 15, major 7th. I'm thinking Gymnopedie no. 1 here.

I realized that after I posted but was called away from my desk before I could post a mea culpa

i am not a music theory person so maybe i'm way off base here but what about using a slide or bending strings on a guitar?

Oh yeah, slide guitar or pedal steel or something, absolutely. As for string bending, I don't see why it couldn't work, but I think it'd be hard. Sounds like it'd be cool to try though.
