Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and thought on temperament in music. I'm an artist and interesting a lot in temperament theme. Could you please share with me notes in hertz for different tunings?
Sorry, I have noticed your request just now. It's not measured in Hz values, but the deviations in cents from the equal temperament. (One cent is 1/100 of an equally tempered minor second.) My favourite temperament after much experimentation is follows. We have two accords and three intervals to remember. 1. The notes in the accord D - E flat - A flat are kept the same as in equal temperament (0 cent deviation). 2. The notes in the accord C sharp - F sharp - B natural are a bit flattened (-4 cent). 3. Interval C-G. both pitches are tuned much higher than in equal temperament (7 cent for both, may be even +8 or +9 cent for G). 4. Interval F - B flat. Both notes are tuned a bit higher than equal temperament (+4 cent). 5. Interal E-A. These notes are tuned very low (-7 cent). So in essence: D - E flat - A flat - kept "as is" in equal temperament C sharp - F sharp - B natural a bit low F - B flat - a bit high E - A - much lower C - G much higher. Where a bit means + or - 4 cent, much means 7 cents (can be 9 for G as an exception). And it just sounds beautifully!

@@historicalpiano Very interesting. Would be awesome to have info in Hertz , I'm not really a pro.
