Using Dierent Temperaments
The most tuning used for western music is called “equal temperament", where
the distance (interval) between any two semitones of an octave is the same. The
CLASSICO L3 uses this tuning at default.
However, in the past, and not so long ago, other tunings were used for classical
western music. These tunings are characterized by varying intervals between the
semitones of an octave. The CLASSICO L3 allows you to select from among seven
most used tuning methods.
1. Repeatedly press the [SCALE] button until the indicator of
the desired tuning lights.

The available scales are:
Temperament scale Explanation
Equal (default),
Pythagorean,
Mean-Tone,
Young II
Kimberger III,
Vallotti,
Werckmeister III
Equal: This tuning is a correction of
Equal Flat. A benet of stretching
octaves is the correction of dissonance
that equal temperament imparts to the
perfect fth.
Pythagorean: This system was
invented in ancient Greece. It resolves
the ambiguity of fourths and fths.
Though thirds are somewhat imperfect,
melodies sound clearer.
Mean-Tone: The Mean-Tone tempera-
ment provided an alternative to just
intonation, which derived the proper
tuning of all the intervals in the scale by
various additions and subtractions of
perfect natural fths and thirds.
Young II: YOUNG second temperament,
proposed to the Royal Society in 1800,
is very similar to Vallotti, except Young’s
tempered fths run around the sharp
side of C instead of from F.
Kimberger III: As a result of improve-
ments made to the Mean Tone and Just
temperaments, this tuning system is
relatively tolerant towards transposition
and can be used to play in all keys.
Vallotti: This tuning is the default for
many of today's Baroque musicians.
Werckmeister III: A combination
of the Mean Tone and Pythagorean
temperaments, this tuning allows for
playing in any key..
