It is tuned  off = of A49 as a 4th. After I tune it I have to rearrange it to fit it  in = a smooth progression of thirds. This makes the E44 - A49 (4th) really = busy.

Another question..is this temperament ET (which I assume = means a smooth progression of thirds from A3 to A4) and is this a good = temperament for a beginner  to learn his aural skills at as opposed to tuning = with 3rds and 6ths)</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=600241223-11112003></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN = class=600241223-11112003> Thanks,Jim Morrison</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=600241223-11112003>More = questions than answers</SPAN></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
