In a message dated 96-10-19 22:25:55 EDT, you write: << But in all of this we have to keep in mind Jim's report that he "tuned unisons by ear except in the treble." He continues, "My personal feeling is that during the listening we were concerned more with the unisons than anything else. The slight difference in voicing, temperament or octaves may have influenced some, but with whatever the slight variations there were, the results were so close." >> Perhaps the next time this is undertaken you could consider having the intervals tuned by the respective tuners, and the unisons of each piano tuned by a different individual. This would help elleviate the problem of whether the unisons or the temperament was being evaluated. Hats off to this effort !!!! Tom Thompson
