It really stood out to me when you played anything other than equal temperament. 7 years of band has really drilled equal temperament into my brain.

It took me a minute to find the differences between the tuning  systems, but finally I got it. There's much more warbling when you aren''t using just tuning

Love your videos, you definitely have deep knowledge about math, physics and music (of course). I'm an engineer, so I love to see explanation about music in a logical way like yours!

Ashton Kutcher teaching me temperament. This is amazing.

Excellent video! It was great (and rare) to be led through the sound of these different tunings in such careful detail in addition to learning the theory. The oscilloscopes helped too. Thanks!

Thanks for your careful and clever demonstration.

Excellent video and explanation. 👍

🤯thank you

Very interesting. The beading of the tones is noticeable. I've found myself retuning my guitar using my ear rather than tuner sometimes for certain chords while recording .. try as I might to intonate my guitar even when intonated more or less perfectly some chords don't sound pleasing unless I retune the guitar slightly

Hey could you post an example of precise temperament tuning tuned to 432.081216? Thank you!

Great video! I have a question, what would you say classical music usually tunes to as far as these variations? From my understanding, string instruments intonate by ear, and from other videos I've seen, just intonation seems to sound better than equal temperament. So to elaborate, when violins for example, intonate, are they naturally tuning to just intonation in the specified key?

What program do you use to do this?

Some real string would sound infinitely better than sine wave synthesizer pitches. either piano strings, 2 guitar strings, etc. - the strings have a natural color to them because of the overtones. the goal is also to sound good- you'll never get there using computer generated tones.

fantastic explanation complementing it with the previous vid. Helped me a lot with my acoustics class ! Btw, I would like to know what's the name of the program you're using there.
Thanks! Regards from Argentina !

i didn't hear anything

whats the name of this program?

Hey, Nathan. I'm looking to interview someone on tuning. Can I contact you somehow? Thank you.

Now come on, you didn't play any chords there. Noone's gonna understand why they should care so much about tunings if you don't play some chord progressions, ideally using timbres that have fairly loud overtones, like harpsichords, strings, or some reed organ stops (or combine reeds with pipes).

Thanks for your careful and clever demonstration.
