| Jun 18, 2022 at 22:07 | comment | added | paul garrett | @uhoh, yes, someone could ask what piano tuners actually do. There might be more than one approach! But I do vaguely recall some amazing explanations from a trust-worthy piano tuner from decades ago... Overwhelming... | |
| Jun 18, 2022 at 21:50 | comment | added | uhoh | @paulgarrett hmm... now I'm starting to perhaps understand your point; if pianos consistently deviate slightly from equal temperament, then that could be one way that they would "sound different", apart from the absolute shift in registry. Yes I see. | |
| Jun 18, 2022 at 21:43 | comment | added | uhoh | @paulgarrett Interesting! Well certainly there are procedures for tuning pianos that involve beat counting that can provide equal temperament (I'd read up on it when for three weeks 50 years ago my answer to "what do you want to do when you grow up?" was "piano tuner"; but I don't know how many tuners are actually counting beats. I wonder if tuners use a combination of "perfect pitch" and "perfect beats"? :-) I think this has the makings of a good Music SE question somehow if it's not been addressed before already. | |
| Jun 18, 2022 at 21:27 | comment | added | paul garrett | I believe that the current way that pianos are tuned, while aiming to approximate equal temperament, is not literally equal temperament... since, in part, the tuner listens for the "beats" between strings (which would lead to some sort of absolute temperament)... but/and makes compromises, to move toward equal temperament. :) | |

| Dec 25, 2019 at 14:26 | comment | added | Dekkadeci | On the one hand, this related question - music.stackexchange.com/questions/93292/… - implies that different keys evoke so many different emotions as to may as well not "feel different" on average at all. On the other hand, different instruments have very different ranges, and that will likely contribute to any differences in "feel" keys have. | |
