Last week I offered it to two sisters who perform duoes.<br> They have two M&H grands in their summer residence here and I tried an experiment since they were willing to try a WT but<br> I was not fond of the idea of retuning the whole piano (or both) in the event they did not like it.<br> <br> So I tuned one piano, middle third octaves (A2-A5) only in the Moore WT and the other piano's middle third octaves in ET. Overwhelmingly<br> the preferred the ET. Especially the faster beating C-E third. Maybe since they specialize in 20th Century composers they prefer this,<br> or maybe they just prefer ET.<br> <br> Anyway, it was real easy to put the WT back to ET since it is not that far off and there was only one third the piano, the other piano was already started...<br> either way, one of them would have been retuned.<br> <br> <div>Regards,</div> <br> <div>Jon Page,   piano technician</div> <div>Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass.</div> <div><a href="mailto:jonpage@attbi.com" EUDORA=AUTOURL>mailto:jonpage@attbi.com</a></div> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </html>
