Those modified Meantone temperaments which are based on intervals using1/5th Syntonic Comma fifths are more common and can be tuned relatively easily by ear. However, unlike the intervals Norden, they do not generate thirds which beat at the same rate as the fifths. During the 1970's a milder temperament related to Norden was introduced by Herbert Kellner. It has only five 1/5 Pythagorean Comma intervals and is held by many to be the most desirable temperament for the 18th century music of J. S. Bach, whose music explores all twelve keys.
