Take a look at "Tuning the Historical Temperaments by Ear" by Owen Jorgensen; The Northern Michigan University Press; Marquette, MI, 49855; 1977; Printed in the USA; The Book Concern, Inc., Hancock, MI 49930. This book describes a colossal number oftunings used throughout the centuries. The book is interesting even for those browsing to find new and interesting ideas to develop and use. ALITA MORRISON
