Greetings,
Since one of the primary tests for ET is that of progressing beat rate
speeds of all intervals, if all fourths have that slow, lazy sensuous
rolling, it would seem that there would be a mightly flat treble, and a
muchly flat bass, (since fourths and fifths slow down from the middle
downward in my ET, I wonder how far I would have to widen G1-C2 to make it
"roll").
In addition, I have never seen a piano that could be tuned so that all of
ANY interval are the same without compromising others somewhere here and
there through the span.
Care to explain a little further on this??
