There are plenty of people that care about convenience. Pianos are generally tuned to equal temperament. If that's what you're saying sounds good to humans, why bother with all the fancy stuff?
- elihu 6y agoWell, just intonation generally sounds better to humans. A person playing violin would tend to naturally migrate to JI voicings of intervals whether they're consciously doing it or not. So, a tool that tells you whether you're "in tune" or not should ideally not tell someone they're out-of-tune when if they play in perfect JI. On the other hand, if the goal is to just be in the general ballpark and accuracy of +/- 15 cents or so is just rounding error, then ET is probably fine. (My own violin skills are pretty rudimentary, so ET would be good enough. But if I were better I'd probably want a JI tuner.)
