There was an error in my previous post. 10-equal has a 26-cent, not a
16-cent, error in the major third. Instead of 10-equal, use a tuning with a
372-cent major third and a 720-cent perfect fifth. John Chalmers would see
this as just as good as 15-equal. The minor third of 348 cents is 32 cents
off just, so I would rate this tuning as much worse than 15-equal, where the
minor third is only 4 cents off. Listen to some major and minor triads in
both tunings and see who is right.
