It is a shame that, while you are very big on tuning everything in HT (or modern interpretation according to ancient rules), you avoid hearing them in context. (what is it you said? "we tune pianos..."?) After the concert at the CWRS, the recitalist and I were at the instruments fielding questions. Several people commented that hearing period music in historical tunings on historical instruments opened their eyes to the whole field of historic tunings. If I may temporarily be as conceited as you, I dare say that I influenced more tuners to try HTs with one short recital than all your tirades.
