When tuning a fiddle, I use an electronic tuner for the A string, then
tune the other strings by ear to the fifth. Seems to me that ends up
a little sharp on E and a little flat on the D, according to the tuner.

All the discussion on temperament, if peripheral, has certainly been

It is my understanding that it is only the extreme octaves (top and bottom)

No text by Pythagoras survives. His ideas on music were documented much
