Gentlefolk, I have been a public school orchestra director for 25 years and am now a fledgling piano tuner. In those 25 years, I have been trying to teach kids to play beatless major and minor triads, that is to say, to play in a Just Temperament, I think. [please take issue and fix anything in here that I'm screwing up in the telling, I'm just looking to learn.] Now, of course, my cherubs honor beatless intervals more in their omission, than in their commission <grin>, but that brought another question to mind. How can a piano tuned in ET perform with a professional orchestra that is ostensibly trying to perform in Just Temperament? Or is this a non issue? If this has been discussed before, please point me in the right direction. Thank you for your time! Steve Borgstrom Brooklyn Park, MN
