David, Why do I get the sense you are debating me? (Although I don't have 69 years of listening to ET) we completely agree.

Part of that is because after 69 years of listening to ET anything else has a hint of "wrong" to it. The other part is that the "far keys" fall under my fingers more reliably and in the well temperaments my favorite keys sound pretty strident. Still, for other people's pianos I want to deliver what they want as that is what keeps them happy with my work. If that's meantone, so be it. dp David M.
