It's always been my belief, as a piano technician that the better prepared 
the piano, the better equipped the artist is.  Remember that I have not 
advocated *HT* as such for Jazz.  To you, this implies *altered* tuning which 
means something quite noticeably different and thus creates an *interference* 
with what you do rather than provide an enhancement.

I don't know if you can or have tried my EBVT but as I have designed it (with 
Tempered Octaves), it is meant to enhance your playing, not shock or disturb 
your musical sensibilities.  It is meant to provide definition, texture and 
clarity, not weird, jarring and shocking dissonances.  If the EBVT is still 
to *altered* for you, I believe you might benefit from the Marpurg (also with 
my Tempered Octaves system).  I will give your piano an uncanny clean, crisp 
and clear sound but absolutely will not create any distinction between keys.
