For this comparison I used pianoteq’s Tubular Bell, classical piano, and lute patches – so these are not samples because pianoteq uses physical modelling.

What started me off on this path was the posting by my friend Jake Freivald of a couple tritave based tunings which appear in this collection.

Use the link at the bottom of this page which lets you play all of these in a row or allows you to easily skip files. That link may take a while to show as it adds files.
