Greetings, Those who administer historical tunings, How do you check octaves in historical tuning? Do you use M3,M10 test? In the Werckmeister and Valotti temperaments, it is so tempting in the truly perfect/beatless 4ths and 5ths to compare them for the octave test, however when it comes to the three other 4ths and 5ths that are not beatless (c-g, d-a, b-f#-) one cannot compare those as easily because they beat. Any suggested reading on this? Has anyone read the PTG offered: Historical Tuning ...by Robert Chuckrow? Did Virgil Smith have anything to say about this subject? Thanks, Julia Gottshall -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/pianotech.php/attachments/20111014/80de2a0e/attachment.htm>
