- The 43-tone scale is a just intonation scale with 43 pitches in each octave. It is based on an eleven-limit tonality diamond, similar to the seven-limit diamond previously devised by Max Friedrich Meyer and refined by Harry Partch. The first of Partch's "four concepts" is "The scale of musical intervals begins with absolute consonance (1 to 1) and gradually progresses into an infinitude of dissonance, the consonance of the intervals decreasing as the odd numbers of their ratios increase." Almost all of Partch's music is written in the 43-tone scale, and although most of his instruments can play only subsets of the full scale, he used it as an all-encompassing framework. (en)

- Kassel's sole mention of the 43-note scale is: "By 1941 Partch was in the Midwest, where he expanded his instrumentarium, ... set a final 43-tone gamut and began to compose for larger ensembles." There is no mention of Meyer at all, nor of Partch "refining" either the seven-limit diamond or his 43-tone scale after having decided on that compromise . (en)
