RE: Was OnlyPure not P12ths TuningsThe first publication about the P12 =
tuning was my article in 3/1988 in the euro piano.
The ominous article from the seventies Ric talked about was never =
prooved. Me seems possible he mangled some years and is referring to my =
article of the euro piano. This article was originally in german, and =
translated into english, french, danish, italy herein.
But this is not the fact.

again:
what i claim as new is the new method by using the pure 3-note interval =
combinations of octave and fifth to reach the P12 tuning, not the P12 =
tuning itself or any of the existing P12 approaches.

regards,

Bernhard

  Joe, just for historical purposes, which of the many tuning schemes =
