@igorhawks minor/major version? What do you mean?

@igorhawks
Well, every instrument have its resonance box. If you change its master pitch, you should change its measures,,, then you can compare. Do you know what I mean? But, any way, is it happiest a C than a B? Is it happiest a circle than a square or a pentagonal dodecahedron?

@igorhawks "higher pitch is happier than lower pitch" I do not understand the pitch in those terms. I find it too deterministic and reductionist. Beauty or happiness are abstract concepts too subjective to be able to make such a categorical statement.
On the other hand, we are talking about the pitch in a musical environment. Music is not empirical, it is aesthetic and it responds to some canons according to the historical and political period. Although for a listener at a given moment, he or she would listen to a particular music, it could acquire some semantic meaning, the music itself, let alone if we focus on an aspect as isolated as the pitch without regard to the rest of circumstances, it can not have a meaning of its own.

As for the master tuning of a given instrument in relation to its soundboard, keep in mind that the instrument itself has a set parameters, while the master tuning is variable. However, the instrument has been ideally built to bring out its full sonic potential in a fixed tuning. That is why the master tuning only accepts very narrow variations, often to compensate for the detune because of the ambient temperature.

But this is an other topic. It's not about master pitch, it's about temperament :)
