<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: [pianotech] re: which HT is best</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <BLOCKQUOTE>I should say that I am almost done with a whole new set of char= ts that will replace those ones. Commentary is added on each chart, mostly e= xcerpted from Jorgensen, but I also have commentary from Coleman, Bailey, We= ndell, and Bremmer on their respective temperaments. And Jorgensen has contr= ibuted his own idealized version of Kirnberger and Prinz. And instead of hav= ing to download a whole honking PDF file, you ought to be able to click and = review pretty easily. Temperaments are grouped by type, and the year of each= is displayed. Best of all, the charts now show TRIADS -- for example, in th= e C column it displays the C Major triad, showing the CG fifth, CE M3, and E= G m3 all together, both cents and beats -- so you can examine proportional b= eat rates in the triads. This is an important area for investigation: when t= he m3 and M3 beat rates are synchronous, that may make the chord especially = ... meaningful? pleasing? sonorous? ... special? I will announce here when the site is refreshed. Expect it within a month o= r so. (I have a fulltime day job as a training manager at Washington Mutual = Bank.) The single chart of EBVT that Bill has placed on his website is an example = of an early prototype of the new charts. In the meantime, I am pleased that people are referring to my earlier chart= s. Enjoy. </BLOCKQUOTE> || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| jason kanter * piano tuning * piano teaching bellevue, wa * 425 562 4127 * cell 425 831 1561 orcas island * 360 376 2799 || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| <BLOCKQUOTE>From: "Ron Koval" <drwoodwind@hotmail.com&g= t; Reply-To: Open Forum for Piano Technicians <pianotech@ptg.org>= Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2002 14:29:25 +0000 To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] re: which HT is best </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE><TT> I'd second what Ed wrote about the Moore being a good "intro" HT.=  Check out Jason Kanter's site (www.rollingball.com) for graphical representations. &n= bsp; Print out a few and share them with the pianist, allow him to have a hand i= n picking, that way he's involved in the process.  For a start, I wouldn= 't recommend exceeding 18-19 cents from pure on any of the major thirds. (usually the F#, in the middle of the graph) The Rousseau equal beating is = also a good choice, having a little more variation from key to key.  I= almost think of the Moore as an "inverted meantone" because of th= e way the graph looks, with the flat top, representing all those intervals place the = same distance from pure. good luck!
