[pianotech] Werkmeister III /Kirnberger temperaments

[Ed Sutton]

Julia-

Where does bravery come in to it?
Is your piano tuned in Kirnberger or Werkmeister? Do you feel they sound better, or are you just chasing a theory and want to push the numbers further?
Is there something about the music they play that makes you think these tunings are better?

  Greetings,

            Has anyone ever tuned Werckmeister or Kirnberger and then had any complaints from local artists?   
  I tune a Yamaha C3 for a chamber music club and I switched to a Vallotti a year ago...no complaints. Some of these players have perfect pitch ya know, but I ll be darned, no one complained yet.   Now, I  want to get more brave and go to a Kirnberger. Am I pushing my luck? What say anyone?
