Hi Wim, Ok, we have a mystery. I think the best approach may be to find out who the tech was that tuned the Jousse for him previously. There are two Jousse temperaments, though one is a quasi-equal, very close to ET, so I doubt that it would be asked for by name. You'll want to find out if the previous successfull tuning was a "dial by numbers" tuning, or an aural recipe. It could possibly be that it wasn't a Jousse at all.... which leads back to the previous tech again. Normally, the "dial by numbers" approach produces consistant results. Did you use a saved tuning? Or, are you confident that the SAT calculation produces an even enough ET to just go with the numbers on that piano? Do you remember any specifics about what he liked, or didn't like?
