Personally I have experienced this method for tempered tuning not working out only with messy instruments or badly worn out strings. Truly tempered tuning works as such with instruments that allow temperament. The temperament of a regular guitar is 12TET, which means 12 EQUAL parts. Either tuning method you choose, the guitar will still be a guitar, even with new strings (and strings will still be different from brand to brand, different tensions and manufacturing, etc) Here is what I know about eventual dissatisfaction of this otherwise greatly appreciated method: quote:
# People have goten used to uneven tuning so that it takes them time to appreciate a tempered one. (From what I heard, rarely but nonetheless occuring.) Absolutely true. quote:
# It might also not work with slanted saddles, depending on how much angled they are. (Generally best to have the saddle just perpendicular anyway.) You're clearly just throwing stuff out in the wind like with the old strings comment. quote:
# It will not help with guitars of bad intonation, with bad setup and sometimes also not worn out frets. You keep doing it. All this guessing about the sweetening of the tuning not helping with this when in fact it helps with all of it (maybe not Peterson's preset but I've already told you about the pitfalls of using one preset for everything). quote:
If you neither can´t think of these points than simply assume that we, who greatly appreciate the merrits of spreading deviation across an individual guitars neck, enjoying how the guitar with all the positively accumulating effects up to much more harmonizing partials gaining in performance and lushness, are just being tone deaf idiots. This is what I've been saying all the time, "spread the error". Now tell us what was your point when talking about people not being used to hearing tempered tuning. quote:
Cheers, and have fun with tuning open strings regardless of instruments individual properties. Hmm... in case you haven't noticed, you were the only one in this thread who uses that method. Also, Iam the one who gave you many real life examples of why that wouldn't work... oh boy.[sm=lol.gif]
