Poor you... ;-) I guess you'll never get your ET absolute. Neither does anyone else. We non ET's in our side neither are able to achieve the optimum. But to us it is simplier: we know we cannot reach the "truth" to every key - we just optimise the sound. To us non ET's there is no need to make Eb sound like D#; But if just only that is what is needed, we can do that easily while spoiling something else instead. I guess you know the system, Roman? While you favorite one key, you spoil another. If you prefer - let us say Schönberg's 12 tone music to - let us say JS Bach in his tonalities - you should prefer also ET. If tonality is a message to you, I would recommend non-ET to you. Best, Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
