little hearing test

By the way, I did a couple more home recordings -

what temperaments are used, so far as you can hear?
~~~T~~~

Thanks for this fun challenge, Tom. :)

I will bite. I tried to not overanalyze, so these are my first impressions:

nevelground1 : some meantone with slightly wider maj3 than 1/4 comma meantone. 1/6 comma meantone?

nevelground2 : 1/4 comma meantone

quipasse1 : Wide maj3s. 12 equal?

quipasse2 : 1/4 comma meantone

Nice!

I'd say that nevelground1.mp3 and quipasse1.mp3 are a well-
temperament of some sort, with the best triads (C and G major) very
close to 1/4-comma meantone. (Definitely not Werkmeister III -- the
G major triad is too good.)

These two, nevelground2.mp3 and quipasse2.mp3, sound like 1/4-comma
meantone.

I'm guessing.
For both pieces, the first version sounds to me like a pretty strong well temperament (like Werckmeister III or something similar) and the second version is probably in some sort of meantone tuning -- I agree it could be quarter-comma.

PS: George is probably right, I'm also finding the G major suspiciously "sweet", having it heard two more times now.

Your recordings are improving.

Nevel2 has purer triads. One guess would be it's
1/4-comma meantone, with nevel1 being a well temperament.

I suppose much the same is true of quipasse files.
The opening chord of quipasse1 is quite harsh.
