Wendall temperament: Wow!

[Jason Kanter]

I have included the Wendell temperament in my set of graphics. You will soon be able to see how it fits in the sequence of historical temperaments --- midway between the Moore and the Coleman 11. (I have set Excel to calculate the standard deviation for the thirds in each of the temperaments, so that they are arranged according to how far the thirds are from ET. This is most interesting...)

| I had a chance to tune the Wendall temperament posted the other day by Paul 
| Bailey.  Old, worn out Knabe full upright, bleeding dampers and everything.  
|   I must say, the Wendall really helped that piano out! Good progression of 
| 3rds and also, an even progression of 5ths.  Thanks for passing it along to 
| everyone.  This one is for sure a "keeper".
