<DIV><STRONG>Well, at the risk of divulging centuries old trade =
secrets and
being banned from the list, here goes;</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Step 1; Tune A4 to A440 fork.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Step 2 ; consider that tuning D3 to A4 is rather
stretching it a bit as far as our digital compass
is concerned.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Step 3; carefully take note that there must be a link =
between
perfect 12ths tuning, and the mathematical fact that equal =
temperament is
based on the 12th root of 2.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Step 4; remember that there are 12 signs of the zodiac =
and 12
months in a year and at the end of year you get the 12 days of
Christmas . By the way there are 12 in a dozen.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Step 5; Run your fingers up the keyboard chromatically =
and you
will soon discover that there are 12 semitones in an =
octave.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Step 6; is half way to Step 12 ........ which =
reads;
examine in minute detail the date of the original posting by one R
Brekne.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>AF</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>P.S. I don't actually tune with a P12 within
my temperament, but I use P12ths outside of it. I will however =
send my
sequence when I am in the mood for more serious writing.
