Why do we need note names like B♭, D♭ etc.? Why not use only A♯, C♯ and so on? Indeed; I was qualifying your first paragraph: only in Equal Temperament are they tuned to the same frequency |

Why do we need note names like B♭, D♭ etc.? Why not use only A♯, C♯ and so on? Equal Temperament only means that the relative differences in frequency are the same. Well Temperament, for example, has unequal distances between the 12 tones, but it still allows playing in all keys because since enharmonics are tuned to the same frequency (you still only have 12 keys on the keyboard). See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_temperament |

What interval should frets be placed for the Tar (Persian Lute)? The instrument is string tied around its own neck? Please clarify the beginning of the main paragraph. Also, "fretting" would be the act of placing frets on the neck in the correct scale. Perhaps you mean stringing? Or tuning/setting up? |

Examples of songs or phrases played in different temperaments @DRL I think you're mistaken about what we're talking about here: a different temperament would have the same 12 notes; it's just that the distances between them would not be equal. This means that a major triad is going to sound different when played on an F vs. a C. No quarter tones required. Temperament itself refers to the adjustment of tuning systems so that a keyboard can play in any key, it's just that in the old days they weren't exactly equal. |

Can one play acoustic/classical music with an electric guitar? @Juv Interestingly, the studio version is a related video, and it is indeed at the faster tempo. It's the classic "the way you practiced it isn't necessarily the tempo we're playing at" problem. |

Equivalent Key Signatures Good answer: consider also that pieces with key changes in the middle are often set up so that the different keys are related in some way. This often necessitates the use of one key over the enharmonic spelling. |
