Make a bunch of people hear it without seeing it. Make another see without hearing. And ask them all "What instrument did you see/hear and from which region of the world (if not western) "? | |
| Jul 2, 2019 at 7:22 | comment | added | Rusi | @phoog Well yes and no: Yes: Instrument matters. No: Tuning matters more than is realized. Combined with the misunderstanding that Bach's "wohl temperierte (well tempered)" is the same/equivalent to "equal tempered" | |
