Demonstration of Issues with Just Intonation
It is possible to make an instrument such that for some note, all the intervals against that note closely reflect their pure tuning intervals - this is called ''just intonation''. The issue is that it can only be constructed this way for a single note - for other notes, the intervals will actually be further from their pure tunings.
