    Posted 20 days ago

    Dear Colleagues

    A couple of pianists came to me the other day to try out tunings and instruments

    https://youtu.be/jZyza5sLeLA Froberger on 1802 Stodart piano
    https://youtu.be/kkTfJE10tYM Haydn sonata on 1802 Stodart piano 
    https://youtu.be/RR0fUpQaCfg Haydn Sonata transferring to Bechstein with same tuning
    https://youtu.be/x1EqXYsLyV8 Another Haydn Sonata on 1802 Stodart piano - transcendental 
    https://youtu.be/TWedxGiKUk4 Haydn sonata transferring to Bechstein with same tuning 
    https://youtu.be/k0FD4sIq7Qc Debussy Images 1 on 1859 Hallé Broadwood Iron Concert Grand in same unequal tuning.
    were the results.
    Best wishes

    I have two grands in my living room. What an opportunity. I tuned one to Kernbrrger 3 and the other equal temperament. Playin Chopin on Kernberger 3 is a real eye opener.

    Dear Tom and colleagues

    Here are some more rather special recordings
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWMPEpBN0FA - an 1859 Broadwood and 1885 Bechstein both tuned to modified Kirnberger III with a Chopin Mazurka
    https://youtu.be/wtwLBTZ7PQo Schubert's Sonata D961 on 1859 Broadwood in unequal temperament
    https://youtu.be/8GwhOOSyJZU Chopin Mazurkas on Bechstein in unequal temperament.

    Just in case anyone thinks that unequal temperament is just for ancient instruments and Chopin here's the
    Carlo Vine Sonata on Fazioli https://youtu.be/mnTDkj5dYYc?t=4508
    and
    Kapustin https://youtu.be/Nq9sb4t3N6o?t=6436 on Steinway D.

    Best wishes
