Bill:

I was referring more to WT's that differentiate dramatically between the =
keys at the all naturals end of the circle and the all sharps or flats =
at the other end of the circle.  I have not yet set up a piano with your =
temperament.  It appears as though it must be done aurally from the last =
thread and I need to review the archives for the system.  But as I =
mentioned in a previous post I am interested to hear it.  I have also =
not yet listened to the Marpurg but I will check it out.

    That being said, if the pianist needs an altered tuning to create =
excitement, he should practice more.


  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.=20

  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.=20
