Well-Tuned MP3 files demo

Please find these two demos of sucessfully tuned work:

1. Beatles "Get Back" at

http://sharehouse.xoom.com/dnload.php3?FILE_ID=107992

A little of the same at the end is in equal tempered, to show how badly out
of tune it immediately becomes (the EQUAL TEMPERED is out of tune).

2. A Chinese violin concerto with a midi piano accompaniment, the
"Butterfly Lovers" at

http://sharehouse.xoom.com/dnload.php3?FILE_ID=107910

The violin is played with all octaves extended, i.e., 81/40 instead of 2/1.
Since listeners cannot stand a just tuned piano, the piano is in equal
tempered.
However, the violin harmonic A 880 Hz prevails in the piece so much that
the open string A = 440 Hz becomes out of tune in the extended octave
environment.
Hence A 440 becomes 434.6 Hz, and the piano is tuned at this A, equal
tempered over a keyboard on the regular 2/1 octave.

Please email me for more well-tuned Jazz, Blues, Beatles or violin.
The more chromatic the music is, the better the intonation becomes.

Linus Liu.

That depends on the nature of your trade with PG music (with whom I'm not
familar).

bad. I'm just agin' 'em.
