Hi List, Fortunatly or unfortunatly( depending on your point of view) I am seldom required to tune in any system other than equal temperament. Now-a-days I'm finding myself with more time for experimenting and such with other temperament schemes,e.i, Werkmeister III, Kirnberger III , Marpurgs#1, et al. My question for those of you who routinely work with these types of tunings is this-- What temperaments are appropriate for what time frames( e.i. early, middle, late baroque, early classical, etc.) appropriate for what composers, parts of the world. Which, if any, are totally inappropriate for modern instruments. I know these are novice type questions( read dumb). I own Jorgensons books,etc as well as others. Just wondering what sage advice the list might offer. Paul Dempsey Marshall University Huntington, WV wippen@aol.com
