This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment First, I saw a recommendation from Ed Foote concerning the Valotti = Temperament. The RCT has a conversion to a temperament called = Valotti-Young. I have tuned this one before for a demonstration = sponsored by the St. Louis Chapter last winter. Are these temperaments = one and the same? I have seen or heard them referred to separately and = also hyphenated. Can anyone explain for me? (BTW, I saw Ed's class in = KC, and thought it brilliant!) Secondly, I learned many years ago that we hear no fundamental in the = lowest notes of pianos. But I was under the impression that perhaps = there would be fundamental heard in the lowest notes of concert grands. = I had a few minutes after the last tuning of a Steinway D that I = prepared for a concert, and used the RCT Pianalyzer to measure the = harmonics of the lowest octave. I found that no fundamental was = recorded until A1. This means that even on that piano there is no = fundamental pitch heard on the entire first octave of the piano. Have = any of you done any extensive research on this? Is this true of most = concert grands, or only on the one I happened to try this on? Ray T.
