OK, Now the plot thickens..... We're dealing with a "tweaked" Jousse from a 
SAT III calculation.  So, I'm afraid, to get to what was tuned in the past, 
you will need to find out what tests the previous tech used to do his 
tweaking.  Anyone out there have an aural recipe for the Jousse?

To answer your second point, yes, just a cent or two difference in a couple 
of places WILL make a difference in how the temperament plays.  I don't know 
if you were around during the "nailing down" of the EBVT, but there was a 
similar problem of tweaking the tuning, customizing the tuning to each 
piano...... a moving target that was impossible to get a fix on.  I ended up 
calling what Mr. Bremmer does as a tuning style, as opposed to a fixed 
temperament.  I would guess if the testing involved equal beating intervals, 
then depending on the inharmonicity of the piano, you could be led to a 
different tuning, based on some of those tests.


Can you get a message to the other RPT?
