It was a while back so I'm guessing. I think the 13th is a simple 3/4 tone, the 14th & 15th are natural harmonics the 16th is a middle distance to the 17th again a natural harmonic.
Just intonation is strange. Have a Google on the principals. It's all to do with building the fretboard around what would be the harmonics of a string. This was just a bit of fun for the guy to mess around with. I've been told by him that although there are only 5 of them when he plays them along side normal scaled instruments it sounds way way off but through a distortion peddle on their own it pulses and creates warping repeating interference patterns. He's quite pleased and says it has shown him relationships between notes he never thought about before.
When I tried it, I just couldn't understand it all.

Thats really interesting. Do these equate to regular fret positions past the 12th - i.e. 14, 16, 19 Care to explain?
