MEANTONE PURE MINOR 3rd
(MEANTONE
3M on display)
This temperament is built with fifths narrowed by 1/3
of syntonic comma. The wolf fifth on G# is very large
and completely unusable. The nine minor thirds based
on C, G, D, A, E, B, F#, C#, G# are pure.
The eight major thirds based on Eb, Bb, F, C, G, D, A,
E, are narrower, with respect to the pure, by 1/3 of
syntonic comma. Again in this temperament the
chromatic scale has a particular character.
ZARLINO
Eleven fifths are reduced by 2/7 of syntonic comma.
The wolf fifth, very wide and therefore unusable, lies on
G#. Eight third majors are usable and reduced by 1/7
of syntonic comma.
Well characterised chromatic scale.
SAUVEUR 1 - SAUVEUR 2
The Saveur 1 tuning is based on eleven fifths, reduced by 1/5 of syntonic comma. Wolf fifth lies on G#.
In Saveur 2 the fifth on F# is pure. The eight third majors of the meantone are somewhat wider here, so
the “wolf” is less prominent. Well tuned tonalities are particularly “warm” and pleasant.
