Just to complete wat I wrote I before - I agree that the piano is not a "perfect" instrument, but so is no instrument where you want to play in all the keys we have. The temperament has, in itself, really nothing to do with the instruments, but with the way we choose to define an octave. With 12 notes in an octave, we can not be fair. This is something that already the old greeks saw... I am talking about music scale theory now. As we all know, temperaments must vary from instrument to instrument, because of different dimensions of the strings, etc. But thats another discussion. And yes, I know, thats probably what this subject was about in the first place... Regards Niklas Eliasson pianotech, Linkoping, Sweden
