Hi Wim, HUH ?? Julia, Equal tempered scale is the most common. It gives you a clean sound which generally suits most music. If however you prefer a bit of colour in the sound there are many historical scales that you can choose from.

According to the dictionary, a tun is a cask that holds 252 gallons of beer or wine. So I guess tunning would be the process of emptying that cask. If that's the case, in my opinion, I do like to drink, and for that amount, I would do it very slowly, over a long period of time, preferably with friends at a picnic on a holiday. I hope you enjoy your Labor Day weekend.

Is equal temperament the most perfected (best) temperament choice available? 2. If no, which temperament do you prefer? ...any other comments welcome and appreciated.
