...if Chopin was as hopelessly neurotic as many great pianists, he could 
have formed the attachment on things that have nothing to do with tuning...)

Or could there have been other aspects of his technicians' skill at working on pianos that Chopin valued (voicing, regulation, quick repairs, etc.)?

         Rellstab's noting of Chopins use of ugly keys making a wild crude 
sound also argues against ET, doesn't it?   

Thanks for bringing this up.  That was my take on it.
