Hello List and Bernhard Recording pianos successfully is a very, very difficult thing to do. Did I hear a false bass string right at the end of Matthias' piece? Or was it my speakers - which are only computer speakers and not hi-fi. I must say I enjoyed Matthias "Fantasy" - it put me in mind of Liszt "Vanezia e Napoli". However, the main issue here is the tuning. I cannot say I found anything untoward on that score. I cannot say it was any better than my aural tunings. So what is the point here? Am I being told this tuning was done string-by-string and note-by-note with the only reference being to an ETD? For my part I would prefer to analyse this "pure" tuning against the known criteria present in a well tuned piano - not by being played as for a recital. I want to hear what your M10, M4, M5 and M15 intervals are like in chromatic progression. Then, and only then, would I, for one, be able to get a true judgement. Once that hurdle is passed you can play what you like on it - it doesn't have any bearing on the issue. But on computer speakers???
