Who can question words like "Pure" and "Natural?" ["I tune impure octaves by listening to unnatural beats."] I'd like a simple, carefully crafted demonstration where several people tune their favorite octaves on a variety of pianos (A2-A3-A4-A5), and we record and measure the tunings. Then we might find out something specific that we can name and reproduce. Ed S. Jeff- To check a pure 12th, use the use the M6-M17 test, thus, for example: F3-D4=F3-A5. The beat of the sixth is very clear, and the seventeen should beat the same.
