a little temperament progress,??

Greetings, 
    I just received this letter from the head of the piano department at a 
local university. Piano is a Steinway B, small, live hall that seats about 
175.  I have it voiced fairly softly and regulated quite closely.  A collegue 
of mine does their tuning.

      Just thought somebody out there might find this interesting.  ET 
certainly appeals to those of us that measure it, but there is no denying 
that a WT has a quality that is proving itself, repeatedly, to be attractive 
to musicians.
