Ramsey, R.P.T. I agree. I experimented with some "pure 5ths ET" tunings a few years back without telling the concert pianist in whose studio I was working. He didn't say anything at the time, but weeks later he admitted (knowing that my situation at the university is not ideal) that he had thought I had finally gone crazy. BTW, it is not my intention with this post to criticize the highly stretched version of ET that yields perfect fifths. I'm sure it has its place. I just prefer at this point to keep the tenor and mid-range conservatively stretched and gradually increase stretch as I tune out in both directions. Kent Swafford
