frequencies of notes

[Ed Sutton]

Well, Elwood, I think you're going to have to tell us what kind of "untempered
scale" you mean to begin with.

A Pythagorean with (mostly) pure fifths and very large thirds (tempered wide of
pure thirds)?

A just intonation scale with pure thirds and pure fifths, i.e. pure triads, such
as a good barbershop quartet might sing (but you will need a lot more than 12
notes to manage to have pure triads in all keys)?

Or do you mean a "pure" un-stretched equal temperament such as might occur on an
electronic organ (which would need adjustments if tuned on a piano)?

Or something else?
