'''True temperament''' is a 12-tone tuning. It was invented by [[Anders Thidell]]. It is intended for use with the guitar, though there is no theoretical reason why it couldn't be used for other instruments.

Being a modified version of [[12edo]], it is a contemporary example of a [[well temperament]].

Being [https://strandbergguitars.com/true-temperament/ based on field measurements] of instruments being used in practice, rather than on mathematical calculations, it is an example of an [[empirical]] tuning. (See [[list of approaches to musical tuning]]).

== Physical tuning instructions ==
The web page ''[https://truetemperament.com/how-to-tune/ The complete guide of tuning a true temperament guitar]'' provides step by step instructions for tuning a physical instrument.

The page begins: "''Start with setting the exact scale length by adjusting the distance between all bridge saddles and the nut at 648 mm (25,5″), if you have Fender, Ibanez, Schecter etc. Do the same procedure if you tune a guitar with Gibson scale: 628 mm (24,75″). Below you can see the tuning method that suits you the best...''"

== Real world usage ==
True temperament is one of few tuning systems which has instruments manufactured specifically for it [https://truetemperament.com/guitar-brands-with-true-temperament-frets/ on a corporate scale]. True temperament guitars are manufactured by Caparison, Hill Guitar Company, Mayones, Strandberg, Sanden and several other manufacturers.
