Beats vs cycles vs cents

[Michael Gamble]

Hello List and Terry F, who said:
""There is no musical way of defining <<in tuneness>> based on cents..."

Point well made, but understand also that "cents" deviation are the basis
for scoring the PTG tuning exam!"
Which in itself proves the nonsense in using any EDT. Only the ear can
properly judge. It is the final arbiter. But as no two pianos are the same,
no two pairs of ears are the same either.
One very obvious test is... The beat rate of M10 as the lower note goes into
the covered Bass section. Some pianos it is wonderfully even in its
decrease - but on others there is a sudden change to very slow beat rate.
Yet..... both pianos are acceptably in tune!!!
BTW I don't have a flame suit - I use the "pond" - and I'm on the other
side! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Re-gards all!
