Hi Ed, Ron, and others who are into this one I set up Tunelab today to execute the cents offsets Ed and Ron posted the other day. I didnt get into the instructors room so I used the opportunity to tune two Schimmels to this tuning. I created my usual curve based on the P12th tuning I do, and when I had that set up I just went through and entered the offesets for all notes A1 through F6 that curve creates. A0-A1 were then tuned as 6:3 octaves referencing the frequencies for A1-A2, and likewise F#6 to C8 were done as 2:1 octaves... perhaps just a tad on the wave side. The temperament was of course easily recognizable as a relatively mild non restrictive temperament. Obviously a well temperement. Course I recieved three e-posts from list readers who tipped me off to the exact temperement this was, but the general type of temperament was quite easy to pick out regardless. Sounded quite nice to me really, but then I have liked these personally from the get go. I will get a chance this weekend to put this on the grand in the Instructors room so we'll see what we will see. Tho I think at least the proffesor will pick out what the deal is without any problem at all. Whether or not I get any comments on these two uprights I tuned today remains to be seen. Tho if things go like they have been, I doubt anyone will raise a comment... but we will see. RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
