Date: Tue, Sep 10, 2002, 4:08 PM <BLOCKQUOTE>Hi List,   I have finally got one of the staff at the University, I have a contract wi= th, to think seriously, about having one of the pianos, in his studio tuned = to an HT. My problem is, I don't play, and have no experience as to what sounds good = with what. Is there a list that tells, which temperament sounds best for a certain tim= e period, or composer? I intend to use a SATlll, and offset the tuning with either the ones from t= he manual, or other offsets I have that were made from Mr Jorgensen's book. = I can't remember where I got them, but someone on the list sent me a number = of them a few years ago. Hoping someone can help me be able to pick the proper one to demonstrate th= eir potential. I am hoping he will then, let me try different ones periodica= lly.   Thank you, in advance.
