If you take an instrument without predefined notes, such as a trombone or a violin, you can produce an infinite amount of notes between Do and Re for example (applies with out of tunes instruments as well). With that logic, you could have an infinite set of 7 notes that are as evenly « spaced » as our current standard. Im sure im missing something obvious.

You can make music with more or less than 12 notes. A 13 note octave sounds like crap since the harmonies are not near the nice integral ratios of frequencies. Even the 12 note octave doesn’t hit the integral ratios right on.
