Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that. Actually, my comment (above) was
really the result of a thought process that I didn't write down. I was
thinking about what would motivate a publisher to put Jorgensen's book
back in print, and I was thinking if professors started demaning it for
classes they might teach on the subject, that could help.

In any event, I'm curious if you have been able to affect any faculty, in
particular performance faculty. For example, has anyone said, "Can you
tune the piano like that for my next concert?"

I had a professor who was interested in 19th century performance practice.
He played Chopin with the hands much more independent from each other than
people play it today. I think the general reaction was, "That's nice, from
an academic standpoint, but nobody really plays it like that for REAL."
But I think it did raise some awareness and some interest in the subject.
