Description
The most common tuning system for the modern pianos. This allows the consistent harmo-
nies regardless of modulations and transpositions.
The tuning system that eliminated impurity from the most important third and fifth inter-
vals. Therefore, third and fifth sound pure; however, other intervals may sound impure.
Use this system by specifying the tonic of the piece to be played.
The tuning system that eliminated impurity from most of fifth intervals. Although chords
sound impure due to the impurity in third intervals, the system brings out the character of
melodies.
The tuning system that incorporated slight impurity in fifth intervals in order to eliminate
impurity from the most important major third intervals. This system was commonly used for
early keyboard music.
This tuning system makes keys with fewer key signatures sound closer to the Meantone
Temperament which produces chords purer, and keys with more key signatures sound clos-
er to the Pythagorean Temperament which brings out the character of melodies. This re-
flects the "character of keys" intended by the classical composers.
The original temperament can be set between -50 and +50 cents.
100 cents = Semi-tone
