The Rodgers 795 offers a choice of eight temperaments: Equal, Mean-Tone, Kirnberger, Werckmeister I, Werckmeister III, Young I, Young II and Pythagorean. This selection of temperaments allows the organist to hear these historical works as their composers heard them, or to explore the application of unequal temperament to new music. -
