The piano was a small Currier spinet.

Using RCT, I just = measured the piano's inharmonicity, and then using the tools, converted the = tuning to a "victorianized 1/7 comma well" (usning the numbers given by = Bill Bremmer on this list on a previous post). I didn't know what to expect, = since I had never done HT by ear. After tuning the temperament section, I tried = my usual test. The temperament sounded weard. I kept on tuning using RCT = exclusively, did a second pass and then played on the piano. I was surprised. Never = before had I heard this type of piano sound so good. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks to the list for giving me the courage to try = this. I will keep on trying. I spoke with a professor at the university and he = has agreed to let me do a blind test for temperament tuning on the two = pianos in the faculty small concert hall. I will let you know how thing come out. I = wonder what HT I should use though.
