Equal (Temperament)
One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently most popular piano tuning scale.
PureMajor/PureMinor
Based on natural overtones, three major chords using these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound.
Pythagorean
This scale was devised by Pythagoras, the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths,
which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning is slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and
suitable for some leads.
MeanTone
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.”
It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.
Werckmeister/
Kirnberger
These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the
impression and feel of the Songs. They were often used in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are also often used now
to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.
