[pianotech] [CAUT] More Bohemia

[Richard Brekne]

Bernard.... you do indeed make it difficult to defer politely and at the 
same time appropriately to you. 

I said nothing about you making your material known to the <<piano 
community>>.  I said <<us>> -- as in here on the PTG lists. Please take 
my comments in their correct context. Indeed your article was published 
in the 5 languages the Euro magazine always translates too... but that 
part of the <<piano community>> resides in Europe, and the Euro was not 
read in the States at the time by more then a handful if by any at 
all.... The stateside part of the <<piano community>> had no idea who 
you were until you showed up on Pianotech about 6 years ago. I would be 
surprised if the rest of the <<piano community>> in the world knew who 
any of us are.  As far as to what degree Gary Schulze's article points 
to a Perfect 12ths approach.... well he says different... I most 
certainly read it different... and I'll let you argue the matter with 
him if you like.

I personally don't give a hoot who thought of what first.... all I am 
interested in is the subject matter itself... and last time I checked... 
there is no law about discussing such subject matter.  Indeed... strikes 
me that the more people talk about and listen to P-12ths material in an 
open and friendly environment the greater chance you will have of 
selling your own software.  I'm not selling anything myself... just 
offering an implementation using software equipped to render this tuning.
Cheers

    "My approach was not made known 6 years ago to the piano community,
    but  published already 21 years ago in a euro piano article from
    1988, as  Stopper temperament, where i published this method along
    with the  usage of a twelfth spanner tool and the discovery of the
    natural form  of the fifth circle which is in fact a nineteen
    octaves and twelve  twelfths circle.

    This article has been published in 5 languages . (German, english, 
    italian, french and danish.)

    Gary Schulze´s article is not an introduction of a general P12
    tuning  approach."
