I >would appreciate getting as many responses and opinions of the H.T.'s >so I can include this data in our programs. >Thanks in advance, Allan Dear Allen, We use historical temperaments extensively here at the School of Music for the tuning of our fortepiano and harpsichord. I do demonstrations of these temperaments for some classes as well. Most of the temperaments I use come from Owen Jorgensen. Of course, I promote the impression that I am doing something really esoteric and clever; but the truth is that they are easier to set than equal temperament. I shall look forward to finding your CD this summer. Regards, Charles Charles Ball School of Music University of Texas at Austin ckball@mail.utexas.edu
