<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The Coleman 10 will be even milder and Ron
Koval has developed one he calls the “Penny” which is even
milder. BTW, he also has a slightly stronger 1.5 which is very close to
the Coleman 10. I prefer to keep WTs very mild when tuning them and agree
that it gives a greater sense of sonority to many pianos—especially small
ones. I think this impression is largely due to the purer thirds in the
keys with fewer sharps and flats which is where most people tend to go when
testing an instrument. If you did side by side testing on pianos with ET
versus WT by playing only in keys with 5 or more sharps and flats, I’m
not sure that the WT would emerge victorious. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
