Re: [Harp-L] Re: Temperments of other instruments



Lee Oskars and pianos are tuned to equal temperament, not just
intonation.

Good question, though.

It may have something to do with the timbre of the harmonica. Or it
could be that we're all trained to hear the piano a certain way by long
exposure and don't tend to notice that the chords are acoustically out
of tune.
