Hammerwood concerts are unique on account of presenting classical music on an instrument tuned to a Good Temperament, a type of tuning which Bach intended to be used for the performance of his 48 for the Well Tempered Clavier. For the past hundred and twenty years at least, instruments have been tuned with all notes equally spaced, in an every increasing move towards achieving international standards and eliminating all variations. The change of character upon change of musical key-sign has been lost and is to be heard once again on the instruments at Hammerwood Park
