I don't think it's a question of what temperament was used, if indeed the pi=
ano was intentionally tuned that way. It's the unisons that are out.&=
nbsp; It could have a perfect ET temperament with the third string detuned =
throughout. In my attempts at achieving the honkytonk sound, I've fou=
nd that the bass unisons need to be cleaner than the rest of the piano. =
; Listen to the bass on these recordings. If they're cleaner than th=
e rest of the piano it may indeed by intentional.<BR>
