Bear in mind, E and F-flat aren't actually the same note. Not only are they

Interesting... this flies in the face of everything I've ever been taught :-D

In equal temperament -- aka "standard piano tuning" -- they're the same note.
Using pythagorean or just intonation, they're different.


I did a quick google for those terms, and these pages look promising:

I'm sure you could find many more, though.
