Every once in a while I get a giant traffic bump on an old post, and it's because someone shared it here. It's always a nice surprise. Thanks for reading!
Meantone is a modification of three-limit just intonation to try to better approximate the thirds from five-limit just intonation. I know that it is historically inaccurate to say that meantone follows from five-limit,…
I'm the guy who wrote the blog post, and I want to offer some clarity. Usually when people say "Pythagorean" tuning they are talking about three-limit just intonation, not five-limit. In three-limit, the major third is…
I know that pure five-limit just wasn't ever a prevalent tuning system, but all the temperament systems are based on it, so it seems reasonable to present it as a kind of baseline, the "ground truth" from which the…
I wrote a blog post summarizing this research. The idea is that the swirls specify turns of the tuning pegs to modify meantone temperament. It's more or less pure speculation, but it does produce a very nice-sounding…
Hi, I'm the author of the blog post. I said that 5-limit is the basis for systems like meantone, which is true. Meantone systems take 5-limit as their starting point and then modify it. I deliberately skated over the…
