[CAUT] Harpsichord transposing keyboard/ WT

[Jim Busby]

List,

If you tune a WT, which has a certain characteristic for each key, then someone wants to shift the keyboard to play at A415, should you retune it to maintain the key characteristics? IOW If the key of C as a tonality is fairly clean but C# has a lot more movement, by shifting the keyboard to A425 I've essentially changed the essence of the perceived key qualities. Should I retune?

I'm using Werkmeister III and one day the keyboard will be in A440 then the next A415, then back. Or... should I not worry about it?

Thanks,
Jim Busby BYU
