Although I consider it to be perfectly compatible with all fixed pitch instruments such as the Vibraphone, this is one of the artists who sounds like he knows what a real ET tuning is and will kill if he doesn't get it. He's come a long way since I saw him in the little dive in Hermosa Beach California called The Lighthouse back in the late '60's where he took it upon himself to correct tuning flaws in the piano while on stage. This is one job I wouldn't take. I prefer the smiles and the "Thank you so much" 's to the hell I might possibly catch if my idea for tuning the piano were misunderstood.
