The lost chord

E7 then. Get AP-Tuner, and flatten the D's 31 cents and the G# 15 cents.

Sorry this response is so late, but this is interesting advice. could you elaborate why? Is this a known interesting combination? Don't know that much about how cents work..but i do tweak them randomly from time to time.

This is known as a harmonic 7th chord in just intonation or microtuning. You get an exact frequency ratio of 4:5:6:7. The individual notes are 1/1, 5/4, 3/2, and 7/4.

Could this be what you're looking for?

..that is indeed one mother of a chord!

Doesn't it get used in some Wagner or Stravinsky...

The mother chord comes from Nicholas Slominksy's 1947 publication "Thesaurus of melodic scales and patterns" Slominksy says the idea was first introduced by Austrian musician Fritz Klein in 1921, in a compostion called "Die Maschine".
