[pianotech] nineteen note temperament

[Scott Jackson]

No, I think he wants 19 notes in the octave, I assume to improve sharp/flat intonation. 
Greg, you say "The basic math involved is explained online". Can you point us to it? Then we may be better able to comment.

  Sounds like what he's looking for is the perfect 12th (19 semitones) -- hard to imagine that he wants 19 divisions of the octave.

            I have a client who wants to experiment with a nineteen note temperament on an old piano. He purchased the piano for this purpose and has no illusions about what such an undertaking would do to it . The basic math involved is explained online but I'm wondering how feasible the whole idea is.  My apologies to all scale designers out there.   Greg Hollister RPT
