History and Use
Although 41-ET has not seen as wide use as other temperaments such as 19-ET or 31-ET, pianist and engineer Paul von Janko built a piano using this tuning, which is on display at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague. Also, the keyboard layout of the Tonal Plexus is designed with 41-ET in mind. 41-ET can also be seen as an octave-based approximation of the Bohlen–Pierce scale.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Free from public debt, at peace with all the world, and with no complicated interests to consult in our intercourse with foreign powers, the present may be hailed as the epoch in our history the most favorable for the settlement of those principles in our domestic policy which shall be best calculated to give stability to our Republic and secure the blessings of freedom to our citizens.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
