And the saddest thing about the saddest thing is that you can't even get the white keys in tune! For example, if you tune the C major scale (C D E F G A B) in the most natural and singable way, the "perfect fifth" between D and A will be 40/27 and the "minor third" between D and F will be 32/27. And that's unavoidable - there's no way to tune the C major scale so all perfect fifths are 3/2, all major thirds are 5/4 and all minor thirds are 6/5. Basically if the D note is in tune for the G major chord, it will be out of tune for the D minor chord and vice versa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemy%27s_intense_diatonic_scale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemy%27s_intense_diatonic_s...
