That's really, really cool. Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if it was perhaps based on the Fibonacci sequence, maybe in terms of half steps: 1/2, 1/2, 1, 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6.5? So in A it would go (I think):

A
Bb
Cb
Db
E
A

I recommended that Roy use Fibonacci differences (in hertz) between consecutive notes in the scale used for his instrument. These differences would progress from the first note (frequency value) selected for the scale.

The link at the beginning of this post is invalid. Where can I get the DVD? Does anyone else have an updated link? Thanks!

You might still be able to get a DVD directly from the auteur (see linked post): A new DVD about growing bananas is available

You can also view it on his YouTube channel:

Still love this video!
