Duowell is a circulating temperament described here:

I tuned the first movement of Schumann's Fourth to this. While it
gives plently of scope for repinings and remonstrations, both over the
tuning and over the rendering, it *will* clear your sinuses.

How does duowell compare to the first Duodene well
tuning you presented (in 101 equal)?

They are closely allied, as I explain on tuning-math in connection
with the grackle temperament.

***It seems like there is a curious "clarity" to this tuning. Dunno
why *that* is... And, with the "speed up," it almost has a rock
beat... (!) :)

I thought the same thing and don't know why either. It's kind of a
horseradish of temperaments--so let's hear it for 457-equal.
