Ed, I have been tuning Coleman 10 on a customer's piano for a little over a year now, and just put it on a Yamaha S6 for a public performance by him. I didn't have a lot of time to listen after the tuning, but my impression was that nothing was "wild", and some of it was downright sweet. Is this a smoother tuning than Coleman 11? The same piano will be used for a jazz performance the next night, and I am considering leaving the Coleman on instead of changing it back to ET. What do you think? And should the pianist be "warned" (or maybe better, consulted) before I do that - or should I wait for the reaction (or lack thereof)?
