[pianotech] Question about octave checking in historical tuning

You can use the same octave tests it's just that the progression will be different.

Subject: [pianotech] Question about octave checking in historical tuning

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
