You are flatly saying that a stable and accurate tuning is not as good as one that is not as accurate, but in which the strings were hit harder. What happens if a normal person then just plays the piano normally hard? Perhaps your hard hitters that don't tune as well have developed a new temperament that is superior to equal temperament. It perhaps can be explored and explained? B. Simon Phoenix
