Certainly don't mean to debate. I was agreeing with you on personal preference for ET and I'm not a crusader for non-ET. I agree with you. In earlier posts I picked up the idea that you thought we should totally avoid non-ET but what you've said today completely agrees with my position. No debate here. dave David M.

(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.
