Hi, everyone.

Occasionally on this list there is mention of a recording of piano music.
Since I am not into collecting piano recordings, but really enjoy listening
to them on the radio, I am wondering if any recording companies ever
mention the pianos being used and the tuning that was used. (Or even
mention the tuner.)

The present discussion of the pure fifth temperament prompted the thoughts.
If this is not a practice, is there a way the PTG could promote the use of
this information on the record cover?

Do any pianists give concerts in which different styles of music are played
on different pianos with different tunings?
