Worth noting that Eastern microtonal music evolved just fine without equal temperament. This was largely a Western phenomenon.

- analog31 7y agoIt's not even terribly important to Western music. In my view the main problem is an instrument of a complexity that needs a professional technician to tune it. And then you have to choose how you want it tuned. For instruments that could be tuned by musicians (harpsichords had to be, because they went out of tune easily), a variety of temperaments were used. String and wind instruments have no temperament to speak of.
