> I just came across an old business card in an old upright last month. A message across the decades..... It had the person's name, and underneath it said: > "Well tempered tunings" > > I wonder what he really meant? > Its a fluke. I am willing to bet nobody else has seen such a card either. But it is interesting never the less. If there were tuners who practiced something systematically different than ET (during the time of that business card), that would be of great interest to students of piano tuning history. I would really like to see that card. > I wonder what he really meant? A tale told by an idiot? The signature of a slop artist? My piano tuning teacher was German. He taught me in English but for the first 3 years evaluated my attempts at ET in High German, low german and Yiddish. All I understood was "dumbkoph" (sp?)---which may have been fortunate. ---rm
