 The Russell Collection of Early Keyboard Instruments - 'Equal Harmony'
Thus Smith's scale is made up by piling his small intervals, each of 24 cents, one on top of the other and observing the above rules for defining each of the different sizes of musical interval.
The Second System proposed by Robert Smith (4), and the one which he claims was used to make a harpsichord for him by Kirckman, would involve making an instrument especially for the 'Equal Harmony' temperament rather than adapting an already-existing harpsichord as in the First System just described.
Nonetheless it is true that the difference between Smith's temperament and the easy-to-tune ¼-comma meantone temperament is only marginal in its musical effectiveness or in its use on an instrument equipped with the enharmonic lever arrangements suggested by Smith.

 [No title]
As Smith yowls the melody-"I realized I didn't know the words once I started," he says sheepishly-in a ragged falsetto, sounding less like Marie than some Leo Sayer from hell, his bandmates energetically (and quite credibly) chime in with the chorus.
Smith turns out to be quite the sports fan, poring over the football (that is, soccer) pages of the London Sunday papers, animatedly discussing the standings of his favorites.
That left Smith with a somewhat unusual sense of who, or what, the Cure really is. "In those days, when the group used to change almost with every record-someone left, and sometimes someone else joined, sometimes two people joined, sometimes no one joined-it was always really natural, " he says.

 Robert Smith (The Best Hair)
Robert James Smith (born April 21, 1959 in Blackpool, England) is a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, and has been the lead singer of British rock band The Cure since its founding in 1976.

In 1986, Smith further altered his image by appearing onstage and in press photos sporting short, spiky hair and polo shirts (this can be seen in In Orange, a concert in the south of France released on video 1987).
