What's not to love, Kent?  Very nice, indeed.

Day before yesterday I made a new recording of the arpeggio demo that  
Jim describes. The recording is at:

www.kentswafford.com/mp3/arp.mp3

The recording is made in a small theater with a bright, thick-sounding  
Steinway L with Ronsen hammers and a fresh OnlyPure tuning. Very nice  
piano. To me, those arpeggios just ooze sonorous, harmonious  
consonance and purity. Play them back as loudly as your equipment and  
ears can tolerate.

Here is a recording made at the same time on the L. Listen to the held  
chord at the end:

Yesterday I made a short recording of a Bosendorfer Imperial as I was  
finishing another tuning with OnlyPure. Again listen to the held chords:
