BTW, I'm wondering about tuning a piano for use with handbells. I once  
measured a handbell as having negative inharmonicity; and, decided based upon  this 
not to stretch a piano quite a much as usual. Anybody have any thoughts  or 
advice about this??

Don't tune a piano any different for handbells as for any other instrument.  
I'm fortunate that the bells are at 440, but there are some bells within my 
set  that are off just a little. When playing the with the bells, unless you 
sustain  one bell, and play the same note on the piano, any tuning 
inconsistencies, much  less inharmonicity, is not heard.
