Temperament nomenclature

Hello Jonathan and List
Thanks for the  www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/3rds_chat.html page - I shall look 
it up! I thought we'd all benefit from your delving and so have posted this 
to the List. :-)
Regards
Michael G.(UK)

>> Hello Jon and List
>>>From the land that built Broadwoods I've never heard of "Broadwood Best"

>> Is this a recognised temperament? I recognise "Young" but "Young 
>> WTemperament" .... "Young Temperament" is similar to "Vallotti 
>> Temperament". If you say "Young Well Temperament" would you also say 
>> "Vallotti Well Temperament". So what is "Well" ?? All this is making me 
>> feel (un)well....:-(    - Then how about Equwell Temperament? :-)
