Seminar 6th May - The Importance of Tuning for Better Performance

http://hammerwood.mistral.co.uk/tuning-seminar.pdf
On a recent thread there's a question about how music affects our minds . . . but I ask rhetorically "What is music?"
It's a collection of vibrations which are either together, as multiples and as one sound, or not together, so giving contrasts of certainty against uncertainty, solid vs liquid, secure vs insecure - and in that we start to see contrasts which move towards a psychological level.
But much of this is lost in modern tuning of music but known to and exploited by classical composers.
"Chromatic", as in the "Chromatic scale", is a word the meaning of which is lost on the Wikipedia page and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqS_IjKo-d8 explains.
More than this, historic concepts of tuning can improve the sound of the instrument, so the seminar on 6th May will be bringing top musicians together, music lovers and piano tuners and technicians.
People are tiring of the black shiny instrument with a shimmering sound which doesn't convey emotion and which can be played mechanically and percussively as mere entertainment, and as a result interest in classical music is in sad decline, particularly in education.
Revisiting the foundations of the sound that makes music can open new perspectives and we look forward potentially to sharing them.
Best wishes
