Have you ever tried one of the big digital keyboards, to see what sort of
temperament is on it? I did once, and found that it wasn't equal (and this
wasn't the special built-in-on-purpose HT.) I theorized that they thought
a little roughness might make it sound a little more like a "real" piano.
Reminded me of hearing a story about how an army cook who had to serve up
*yuk* scrambled eggs from powdered eggs every morning would put a few
pieces of real eggshell in it now and then.
