Hi everyone I'm not familiar with the Hale digital tuner mentioned, but if you can trust the ET tuning it generates(this is REALLY important for all EDT tuners!!!), you can get to vallotti by adding or subrtacting cents from each note. Round off as you need to: C 5.86 C# 0 D 1.95 D# 3.91 E -1.95 F 7.82 F# -1.95 G 3.91 G# 1.95 A 0 A# 5.86 B -3.91 You may find that the best way set this on a piano with an old EDT is to just use it to set the temperament octave and work out from there. It may just be easier to get aural directions if that is how you are used to tuning. Vallotti is a symetrical temperament with the major thirds built on C,G, and F about 6 cents from pure. On the other side, thirds built on B, F#, and C# are about 22 cents from pure. All other thirds progress in circle of fifths order. For reference, ALL ET major thirds should be about 14 cents from pure. good luck!
