Are they really complaining about the 4ths? If you're an ETD user, you might try dialing up the stretch. Kent Swafford noted that using stretch mode #7 in CyberTuner closely mimics the amount of stretch one can attain with Benrhard Stopper's OnlyPure program. Have you attended any of the localpresentations by David Anderson on his aural tuning approach (NEECSO in Nashua 2008, Boston Chapter @ NBSS May 2009)? Several of the ETDs also offer a variety of non-ET temperaments you can experiment with. The manual for the Verituner has a great chapter by Ed Foote which matches temperaments with repertoire. Try Bill Bremmer's non-ET termperaments, and take a look at the bouncingball website. Borrow a copy of Jorgenson's book(s) and experiment all summer! The rest of this stuff you can find with a bit of Googling.
