<HTML>List, Just home for lunch and in the mail was a complete report from Owen Jorgensen on the EBVT.  I'll just skip what I could say and what I should say to you know who because I've already said it and I stand firmly behind what I've said.  I think what I'll do when I get the chance is to scan Owen's hand written documents and post them on my website.  I have other more pressing matters at the moment however, as I am preparing solo vocal material for 2 upcoming concerts and am writing an arrangement.  I'd rather be doing this than copying numbers out of a book and dialing them into my Accu-Tuner. I'll get the info to Jason Kanter as soon as I can so he can make a corrected graph.  Jason's Graphs are true works of art and have helped me immensely.  I also appreciate the input from Ron Koval and Kent Swafford. Here are quotes from the page where Owen calculated the interval sizes pf the Major 3rds:  "This is excellent form and balance".  "The sound of this temperament is very musical, revealing excellent taste".  In his cover letter, he writes, "...you can see that the harmonic balance is wonderful and that you have a very fine, musical temperament". Here, for those eager to dial in some numbers are Owen's correction figures: C   +1.2 C#  -0.8 D   +0.9 D#  +.09 E    -2.0 F    +1.8 F#   -2.7 G   +3.1 G#  +1.2 A      0.0 A#  +2.4 B      0.0 As you can see, these are very small deviations from ET.  That is what makes the EBVT tuned on a modern piano compatible with all other instruments and with all types of music.  The high incidences of intervals which beat exactly the same or very similarly to each other give the piano a distinctly more pleasing resonance than that which is found in ET.
