Summary/Abstract: Nowadays equal temperament is tacitly adopted as a ‘standard’ method of tuning the piano. The paper presents it in a comparative discourse against Renold I for an unequal temperament, which Maria Renold called Twelve True-Fifths Tuning concept (1962). This temperament is built on the scale constructed by Henricus Grammateus in the sixteenth century with Renold adding three predefined tones: a1 = 432 Hz; c1 = 256 Hz and gelis1 = 362,04 Hz. The paper describes in detail the structural specifics of the Twelve True-Fifths Tuning method.
