That was kind of the point I was making Fretsource.
That regardless of how the Theory changes behind the scenes, what we listen to doesn't change.
No matter how you describe a major chord, no matter what words you use or what mathematical system you use, it will always sound like a Major Chord.
The point of Bach was before him Keyboards had semi-tones, tones and tones and a half between each key (varying). Now each key has a semi-tone between them all.
Yet the music hasn't changed. The way you play it might have, but the sound created hasn't, it is exactly the same as it was before Bach did this.
