I first started to see the cracks in equal temperament when tuning a guitar to pure fourths and a third.  At the time, I didn't know the source of the error in the pitch of the high E, or that it was called the [[Syntonic comma]].  I thought maybe the intonation was off on my guitar.

I first learned in earnest about tuning theory as a university student.  The pianos in the rehearsal rooms at my [[Wikipedia:University of Illinois|university]] were badly out of tune.  I got tuning tools and learned how to tune by ear.  (I also learned a bit about "well" temperaments.)
