<DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Those who administer historical tunings, How do you check octaves in historical tuning? Do you use M3,M10 test?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> In the Werckmeister and Valotti temperaments, it is so tempting in the truly perfect/beatless 4ths and 5ths to compare them for the octave test, however when it comes to the three other 4ths and 5ths that are not beatless (c-g, d-a, b-f#-) one cannot compare those as easily because they beat. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Any suggested reading on this? Has anyone read the PTG offered: Historical Tuning ...by Robert Chuckrow? Did Virgil Smith have anything to say about this subject?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
