   I read this the first time posted (didn't get any comments), very poignant, especially the part about relearning trig/geometry, precalc. There's boundless resources for learning now but you don't get little endorphin&#x

    the difference in a fifth between JI and Equal Temperament can be over 20 cents in at least 1 key, i.e. almost a quarter tone, or a lot, which i think most people can hear. So, yes, it can be a big difference. And that's not accountin
