temperaments:clear as mud?

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Ron,
That is also what I am getting at.
Two other ideas in my mind,
A string good player will seldom play an open string ( ever try to vibrato
on an open string ).
There is no such thing as an in tune piano for when it has been tuned it is
now out of tune. With the out of tunness hidden within groups of notes being
played and ET nor HTs can address this using a 12 tone scale.
