I've never done that but it sounds reasonable. Remembering what temperament goes where is what computers and inventory databases are for. dp David M. Porritt, RPT dporritt at smu.edu From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of G Cousins Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 9:35 AM To: CAUT Subject: [CAUT] professor tuning variables Greetings all, In light of the recent discussion(s) on the varied forms of tunings ET,MT,Schubert ET, etc. Has anyone ever tracked or patterned their tuning toward specific teachers needs and/or teaching preferences. More specifically, I am finding that if I vary my tuning temp toward the type of teacher, Piano performance, Voice, Chamber player etc.... the profs tend to prefer the "different sound" (read tonal difference) the piano has after this altered tuning. Although I have not told any of them what I have been doing, I have just been doing what I think will better suite the teacher's piano after asking and analysis of their comments about the piano in their studio. Pianos I "toying with" are L's, B's & 178's I was wondering if anyone has ever done similar testing or experimentation in this area. YES, (John C.) I am well aware of the can-o-worms this might (and potentially can bring to an already taxed workload schedule. Eg:Trying to remember what temp goes where, what venue, room,teacher, yada,yada. I'm just hoping for some thoughts and/or input from the list. Gerry C West Chester University of PA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
