if tempered tuning was ignored how many keys ( notes/hammers ) would a grand piano need to be 'in tune'
(as in perfect pitch ) no matter
which key any given song was to be played in
+who ' invented ' the bass git...just want to know

Re: new competition..see post
this is out of a physics book: the pitch of the note C in the key of C has a slightly different Hz than the C in the key of E ( cant remember the exact notes/frequencies etc )so on a piano you would need say 5 middle C's 4 A's and so on to play perfectly in tune ( what a nightmare that would be ) in any key...it also goes on to state that 229 keys ( or thereabouts ) would be required to achieve this aim.....viva temperate tuning.eh
ps please dont shoot the messenger
good trivia for the pub this one...harder than arney dorsey

another ' trick ' is to shorten the scale length of the ' G ' string from the nut end by about 1/8"( plain G only)
for sweeter sounding chords.. this is something i do to all my gits but is not common proceedure..sometimes the G is tuned slightly flat....a good tuner is an essential tool for any guitarist esp if playing with other
musicians
