Vallotti temperament

[Farrell]

Hi John. This is how I do it with an ETD. Figure out a nice ET tuning for
the instrument. Record the tuning on the machine with whatever method you
have at your disposal. Apply the appropriate offsets. Tune. The offsets are
in Appendix B of the SAT manual, which can be accessed at
http://www.concentric.net/~Fast440/atm/atm.html#apb  just scroll down to the
Valotti temperament. Good luck!
