That's what I do also, Dean.<div><br></div><div>When I first began tuning, I'd try to match the piano to the organ. It took me a while to realize that wasn't solving anything. Especially when the sanctuary temperature was not at normal operating temp. Cold piano and cold organ are gonna go their different ways as the room gets warmer.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I doubt there will be any major problems. Pipe organs vary more than
pianos (according to the temperature). You'd have problems matching the organ
to the piano even if both were tuned in ET.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

asked to be an emergency sub for a concert this Sunday for a local community
chorus. They are doing the Kyrie from Vierne’s Messe Solennelle at a local
church. The problem is that I know the organ at the church was built to be
tuned to Werkmeister III. The piece is in c# minor and is for 2 organs. The
second part is going to be played on a keyboard (it mostly just doubles the
choir). That instrument will most likely be in Equal Temperament and most
likely will not be adjustable to Werkmeister III.</span></font><u></u><u></u></p>

is for any of you out there that have experience with Werkmeister III to let me

Friday with these two temperaments on the two instruments playing in the key of
