Dear David, Cole-4 and Cole-11 is shorthand for the well temperaments created by our own Jim Coleman, Sr. These would be the Coleman 4 and Coleman 11 temperaments, which are quite good and I recommend. The Coleman 4 temperament is just a small deviation from Equal Temperament, while the Coleman 11 well temperament offers more key color and is a moderate step away from Equal Temperament. In addition, there is the Coleman 16, which I personally like better than the other two because it offers even more contrast and key color, and it is a stronger temperament. Go to http://www.rollingball.com/ for a lot of charts and graphs showing different types of tunings other than Equal Temperament. Sincerely, David A.
