Perhaps. > Regards, Robin Hufford Hmm... If in general, unitiated auditors display a significant preference thus, and at the same time display a significant preference for temperaments with variance in key colour over Equal Temperament..... Should be relatively easy asscertain that much. On the otherhand... if such preferences can be established, then how is this of import nominally to advocate tuners, and of little real value to musicians, or for that mater listeners, unitiated or otherwise ? Seems to me that either a thing has significance or it does not. And of course not much of this seems to have been actively employed by more then a handfull of musicians, so how can we speak to the possiblities for musical creativity that have not been explored conciously ?
