Not to take away from the beauty of what well temperament can do for music,
either past, present or future, and not defending one position or the
other; the tuners you speak of only used their ears and their hearts
because that is all they had available.

BTW: Some persons using Accu-Tuners actually do use their ears and their
hearts when tuning.  :-)
