This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi, Dave and Juliet I would tune the bass so the third partial (sol a twelfth above do) is = quite in tune. This would cause the fifth partial (mi) to be less in = tune, but in jazzy alterated chords, this is much less a problem than in = the perfect chords of classical music. What you get then is a much = stronger feel of solid basement for dissonant harmony, interesting for = letting the dissonances sing, without loosing the feel of tonality too = much. Just my own opinion, no more. By the way, I like very much the sound of Keith Jarrett recordings. = This sounds not only like ET, but mostly like Keith Jarrett. A friend = of mine did a very clear demonstration that on any temperament (between = reasonable limits), you can make any chord sound very harmonious or very = awful, just by mixing differently the volumes of the notes you are = playing, and controlling carefully their brillance.

I had a friend from Arkansas call and ask me a question. This friend = is learning how to tune and one of her "guinea pigs" requested that her = piano be tuned to the "jazz" method. All I can think of is that maybe a = "Jazz" tuning is some kind of newfangled temperament. Maybe Arkansas = just has it's own way of being different. :0) Has anyone ever heard of the "Jazz Method"? And can you explain it? Thanks, Dave Streit, RPT AAA Piano Service Beaverton, OR ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
