    It may or may not.  You can only find out by trying.  I usually begin 
with a more subtle step, since I had fewer people bothered by the Coleman or 
Moore and Co. tunings.  
      The Young-Valotti tunings have a pretty wide C# and F# thirds, and may 
cause comment.  It is a great tuning for small pianos, though.
