Hi, all,
I've recently gotten an iPod Touch (2nd g) as a very early birthday
present from my beloved. Browsing through Apps for the first time, I
found the Cleartune tuner ($3.99) ( http://www.bitcount.com/cleartune/temperaments.html
), for which I had to go out and find a microphone that would work
with the iPod. If I had an iPhone, I wouldn't have needed that bit.
Anyway, I bought the app for the different temperament settings
available, more than I knew existed, as I have been fussing much too
much with my little old Bassot and modern equal temperament and I've
wanted to know what his natural tuning is. Well, there are 23
temperaments included in the tuner. At the bottom of the list are
six French tunings (Early French, Homogeneous French - 1/5 SC,
Rameau, Rousseau II, Rousseau III, Rouseau IV). Guess what? M.
Bassot, with his tangents perpendicular to one chanterelle comes
very close to each of these six, even the Bs are close. When I've
spent a wee bit more time, I might nail down the magic one. I've
only spent a few minutes trying this out and I thought I'd ask an
opinion of the learned before committing tangent surgery, again.
Do any of you tune to one of these temperaments? How well do you fit
in with other musical instruments?
All the Best,
Barbara
