The question is: does a harpsichord have inharmonicity? YES! It has less of
an effect on the overall "Stretch", but it is virtually impossible to tune
one w/o some stretch. Otherwise, it would not sound musical or in tune. The
"Harpsichordists" may think they are tuning "Pure", when in fact they are
not.
