Have you ever tried playing jazz in any alternative temperaments?

  I play jazz and ET is the only thing I want to hear.   Jazz has lots of improv, key changes...I sure don't want to hear a F-A at 7 bps change to 17 bps on a F# type chord...;-[    

  I can just see all those post, now, coming to the List with stories of how so and so jazz pianist loved this or that hysterical temperment and how he raved...I will not be impressed.   Truthfully, I NEVER get a request for HT...OK, rarely...the pianoforte in a Young has been requested once...

  That might be fun to do sometime.  only one of our piano faculty demands a Vilotti on the forte piano. What would be interesting for Jazz?  Otherwise, everyone just expects ET all around. I'm not really interested in multiple temperaments all around the school for each instrument! And still, the rooms used for jazz are also used for other stuff!  what to tune..................???? Maybe we're just too "down on the farm" for different temperaments; and to maintain these instruments changing back and forth is not good policy.

  Been doing it for years. Perhaps one out of 15 will prefer the ET, everybody 
  else seems to think their pianos are more resonant and musical in a WT of some 
  sort.
