Does anyone have links to audio samples where these differences are prominent? In addition to comments, this video has a decent comparison using sawtooth tones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRlp-OH0OEA

Can this be applied to an electric piano to get a similar type of colour in the sound?
Might be a little tricky to set up, though, since only a few DAWs and plugins support it.
It's all fun and games until you start trying to tune a guitar. Pianos have it easy.

Wouldn't that be nice, rather than whining about numbers? It's an informative article, but the reality is that nobody cares . And I mean "nobody" in the approximate sense of 99.9% of music listeners. The reality is that our brains are more than happy to glue these nasty thirds to their hypothetical frequencies. Sure, they have a little roughness to them, but it's not a big deal, especially considering that most piano…

Two examples of fairly audible ringing (probably start a little before my timestamps to get a little context):

To make matters worse, or maybe better, most non keyboard instruments have no sensible temperament whatsoever. Even fretted instruments are a compromise.
There is some debate as to whether Bach intended equal-temperament or well-temperament. These terms were not well-defined in his day. https://books.google.com/books?id=yZ95L8Xohs0C&pg=PA4
I thought that was a crackpot theory, but then he played some pieces in their respective individual tuning systems on a harpsichord, and they sounded absolutely amazing, better than well tempered (or equal obviously). So who knows!

Thank you. That is astounding. I wonder if there is any way to find music performed using original tunings. It sounds SO much better to me.

And another clip I uploaded of using pitch-detecting software on a studio recording (notice it detects a lot more than 4 simultaneous notes, because it's "hearing" overtones):

Seriously though, it would be amazing to have mainstream acceptance and performance of classical works in their intended tunings. That would be cool. Half the stuff just doesn't sound right in equal temperament.

Wendy Carlos released a 2nd version of her Bach Brandenberg Concertos that were done using period tuning on synthesizers including modulations. perhaps you can compare the two.
