Coleman 4 and Coleman 11

[Vanderhoofven]

Dear David,

Cole-4 and Cole-11 is shorthand for the well temperaments created by our 
own Jim Coleman, Sr.  These would be the Coleman 4 and Coleman 11 
temperaments, which are quite good and I recommend.  The Coleman 4 
temperament is just a small deviation from Equal Temperament, while the 
Coleman 11 well temperament offers more key color and is a moderate step 
away from Equal Temperament.  In addition, there is the Coleman 16, which I 
personally like better than the other two because it offers even more 
contrast and key color, and it is a stronger temperament.

Go to http://www.rollingball.com/ for a lot of charts and graphs showing 
different types of tunings other than Equal Temperament.

Sincerely,

David A. Vanderhoofven
