thanks for more tuning related goodies, this (as the kids say) is my jam! (also I keep running into the idea in the wild that "well-tempered" meant equal, which we need to keep pushing back on!) The first recording that really got me into historical tuning (courtesy Johnny Reinhard's Microtonal Bach show on the WKCR Bach Fest) was Zsusa Pertis' Chromatic Fantasia & Fugue—i highly recommend it if you haven't heard it!

Oh wow, just listening to the Pertis recording... it's pulling my eyebrows apart!

British guitarist Robert Fripp developed an alternative tuning called New standard tuning (NST) for guitar and has taught it to his Guitar Craft students from 1985.
