From this perspective, it may be expected that violinists prefer Pythagorean intonation because both the violin and the Pythagorean model rely on perfect fifths (i.e., intervals between two frequencies having a ratio of 3:2); the open strings of a violin are tuned by perfect fifths, and the intervals in Pythagorean ...

What is Pythagorean musical tuning?

Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratios of all intervals are based on the ratio 3:2. This ratio, also known as the "pure" perfect fifth, is chosen because it is one of the most consonant and easiest to tune by ear and because of importance attributed to the integer 3.

Is Pythagorean tuning the same as just intonation?

Pythagorean tuning is a type of just intonation. You don't quite get simple ratios by stacking P5, but what you get is also decent -> major/minor thirds and sixths are a schisma away from simple ratios, so you get a few good intervals in a 12 notes gamut.
