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.
