Are you really sure sinewaves would be enough? Sinewaves are notoriously
difficult to tune to precise intervals, because there are no clashing
harmonics to guide the ear - this is the clue we use to judge tuning,
most of the time. Even a triangle wave would make the intonation
differences much more vivid.
