Aural Tuning- Pianos with High Inharmonicity

[Richard Morgan]

So, in the meantime, until his 3 tuitions are paid, what's the aural tuner to do?  Can he apply the Well Temperament aurally?

Tuning ET on small pianos causes them to sound edgy and harsh.


A Well Temperament magically transforms them into a somewhat
sonorous instrument. My preference is Coleman 11 with very little
stretch, here's my VT style for these (octave type / percentage)


Small (K3a smaller)
A0
6:3 40%
10:5 60%
A1
6:3 40
4:1 60
A3
4:2 20
2:1 80
A4
4:2 20
2:1 80
A5
2:1 40
4:1 60
F#6
4:2 40
4:1 40
3:1 20
D#7
4:1 60
2:1 40
C8
4:1 40
2:1 60


ETD's are great for not taxing your perception. Save up.
