[pianotech] Fourths

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Bob

Grin.... this is Pianotech you see... posts that require you to read 
beyond a couple quips must be piano-politically loaded so as to generate 
a frenzy of opinion and further quipping about design issues local techs 
will never be in agreement on, despite the market having evidently 
settled most such issues several decades ago, or be some entertaining 
anecdote that is semi related to our trade.

Seriously tho.. Haven't had time to read through and digest adequately 
your posts yet to comment further then that your 4 conclusion points 
agreeable as far as they go. Actually I would say that the 12th root of 
2 bit is perhaps a bit overstated. You can indeed tune most any decent 
quality piano in the temperament area to semitones that are spaced 
perfectly thus and end up with a more then acceptable quasi-equal 
temperament and tune octave types out from there to arrive at a tuning 
just about no one on the face of the planet will have a problem with.

Cheers
