whoaaaaaaa......
i just made harry partch play the bass marimba
and there's only like 5 million more instruments you can play!

you know what? i just had an idea... you could actually form a group of performers with just a bunch of laptop and good speakers that can play his instruments even if they don't have his instruments.

maybe one day i'll compose something that way, ya know, make the Harry Partch legacy live on

It might take more time, and perhaps a revolution in music education (or just in education), but if people can be taught to open their ears more, microtonalism/xenharmonic music should be the wave of the future!

But maybe people cannot be taught to open their ears more!   (An old debate!)

Gregory!  Your idea has great merit in either case!
