Hello list, Background: I have been tuning pianos since 1962 full time. Since that time I would say I have tuned at least as many pianos as the next tuner. In these soon to be 36 years. I have had NO ONE ask me, or question me about my ability to tune any other temperament other than the norm. Norm means equal temperament. Since everyone I have been working for gets my brand of ET I call that the norm. Maybe I travel in different circles than some of you and that is the reason. I don't know, but I suspect that my experience is like most of yours unless you are connected with early music types or university type people. My world is the real world to me and although I am intrigued to try forms of historical tuning the only way it looks like that would happen is on my own personal piano. Most clients would like to play their pianos with other instruments or along with recordings and I see ET as the vehicle to allow them to do that.
