The classical Talman musical tradition uses extended just intonation (at least abstractly): intervals are viewed as rational frequency ratios, which include not only factors of 2, 3 and 5, but also 7, 11, 13 and higher primes. In modern times, there are broadly two approaches to this tuning, the choice of which is partly dictated by instrumentation and style: just intonation (possibly microtempered) and various equal temperaments.

Talmans traditionally preferred smaller ensembles; larger orchestras are a Romantic development.
