Hello Inäki, This is basically a pure fifths temperament. I've had a customer with a 9' Falcone that inssisted that I tune this temperament on his piano. What I've found is that it does give the piano much more brilliance in the treble, but I found that it was too much stretch for my taste. Double octave were about 2bps wich I found disturbing. But, this is what he wanted. When checking the tuning, it was too much stretch, but when he played the piano, it sounded fine. So again, we should be careful to keep the goal in mind. We must tune for music, not for tuning test.

I have readed about it but I don´t know the result. Anyboy of you tried and can give me your opinion? And more: how can you do the central scale for this temperament? It is in one book called "piano bien tempere et justesse orchestrale" by Serge Cordier (sorry, I write the tittle by memory, but even I can´t understand French language so maybe I have much more mistakes in this language than in English!)
