Abstract

By mid-nineteenth century the climate of discussion had become optimum for undertaking the construction of keyboard instruments that are able to sound in just intonation. The technological expertise to realize this was readily available in the keyboard manufacturing sector. Helmholtz took the initiative for moving in this direction by transferring to the laboratory a problem that until then for the most part had been dealt with only in theory and in written works. The jumping-off point in our exploration of the construction of fixed tone keyboards in just intonation is Hermann Helmholtz.
