There's a lot of information out = there about "temperaments". This type of tuning is used mainly on = historic type instruments: real square pianos (circa late 1700s) = Harpsichords and Fortepianos. The temperament we use at Glyndebourne is = Vallotti. In fact I have to tune a Kawai grand to this temperament to = use with a Harpsichord in rehearsal for Bill Christie. The variation = from equal temperament is as follows: a:0 a#:+6.0 b:+2.0 c:+6.0 c#:0.0 d:+2.0 d#:+4.0 e:-2.0 f:+8.0 = f#:-2:0 g:+4.0 g#:+2.0 The "wildest" off pitch temperament is "Werkmeister-III" where: a:0 a#:+17.5 b:-7.0 c:+10.5 c#:-13.5 d:+2.5 d#:+20.5 e:-3.5 = f:+13.5 f#:-10.0 g:+7.0 g#:-17.0 Lambert(1774) is closest to equal temp. I shall stop there and put on my flame suit for daring to suggest = anything so OT as "temperaments" Regards from darkest Sussex Michael G.(UK) ----- Original Message -----=20 From: jonathan stuchell=20 To: Michael Gamble=20 Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 4:48 PM Subject: historical temperament Hello, I want to start using historical temperaments. How do I go = about this? I use a Peterson virtual strobe tuner which has settings = for Young, Werkmeister, Kirnberger, Pythagorean, Kellner etc. I would like to = use one from J.S. Bach's time. Information seems hard to find. Im very = interested, because I favor the Baroque period. Also, Baroque = instruments are becoming popular. Hope you can give me some advice! =20 =20 Thanks, Jonathan Stuchell =20 ------=_NextPart_001_0017_01C5242B.50ACC220 An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
