Hi Wim,
 
HUH ??
 
Julia,
 
Equal tempered scale is the most common. It gives you a clean sound which generally suits most music. If however you prefer a bit of colour in the sound there are many historical scales that you can choose from.

I don't know how setting a temperament and tunning are related. According to the dictionary, a tun is a cask that holds 252 gallons of beer or wine. So I guess tunning would be the process of emptying that cask. If that's the case, in my opinion, I do like to drink, and for that amount, I would do it very slowly, over a long period of time, preferably with friends at a picnic on a holiday. 

 

I hope you enjoy your Labor Day weekend.

 

Wim

Greetings,

 

         

Just curious as to what the general consensus is on temperaments 

 

 In your opinion;

 

1. Is equal temperament the most perfected (best) temperament choice available?

 

2. If  no, which temperament do you prefer?

 

...any other comments welcome and appreciated.

 

 

Thank You,

Julia Gottshall

Pa
