[pianotech] Well Tempered tunings

[Dean May]

So in my Tunelab folder I have the following well tempered styles available:

1-4 Syntonic Meantone

Bremmer EBVT

Bremmer EBVT-1

Broadwood Best

Coleman 11

Coleman 16

EBVT-3

Kirnberger III

Stanhope 1-3 Comma

Stanhope Equal Beating

Thomas Young #1

Vallotti well (1750)

Vallott-Young well

Wekmeister III

 

I've used the Vallotti-Young, Broadwood Best, EBVT-3, Coleman 11 and Coleman
16. The charts that I've studied don't have many of the above styles, or
they are called something else. Can you help me, Ed, or anyone else, put
these in some kind of order from mild to extreme, or give any other comments
about them? 

 

So far I tend to like the Coleman 16.

 

Many thanks,

 

Dean

Hi Terry, 
   The three mildest, in ascending order of change, are Moore, Coleman 11,
and then Broadwood's Best.  I use all three.  The Moore is on the stage
pianos, (as well as the Nashville Public Radio broadcast studios. )  The
Coleman does well in many home situations, as does the Broadwood. 
Hope that helps. 
   Moore is the default I use with new customers, unless they are specific
use pianos.
