period instrument performance.
What do you mean exactly by intonation? Temperament? How good the thirds are?
Temperament is only necessary--and a necessary
evil at that--for keyboard instruments that
cannot make microtonal pitch adjustments. Tuning
involves pure intervals, including the thirds or
course. Call it just intonation, if that makes
you happy, or call it Fred. Stringed instruments
can do it, although we're trained not to.
