I have heard it said that EBVT tunings cannot be accurately
represented by cents offset from ET.  Could those of you that
tune EBVT aurally and have access to an ETD please try these
offsets with an ETD:

A     -1.7
A#    -0.1
B     -1.2
C      3.6
C#    -0.8
D      0.1
D#     0.3
E     -2.6
F      1.4
F#    -3.0
G      2.8
G#     0.8

These offsets were derived by a theoretical analysis of Bill Bremmer's
instructions as applied to a piano of average inharmonicity.  I would
like to know how such a tuning turns out if done with an ETD.
