Don, > But when you go tampering with ET, as everyone in this group > knows, there are two detrimental effects that take place. This would be true if you view ET as THE standard. If you're always trying for a equal temperament, yes, it would be detrimental because it would not be equal. I would not say "detrimental," but deliberately "different." It's the different "effect" that is desirable by some. When it is a deliberate alteration, it is not detrimental but a reasoned alternative. It's kind of like ice cream. There are many flavors besides just plain vanilla. :-) Regards, John Formsma
