That might be fun to do sometime.  only one of our piano faculty demands a 
Vilotti on the forte piano. What would be interesting for Jazz? Otherwise, 
everyone just expects ET all around. I'm not really interested in multiple 
temperaments all around the school for each instrument! And still, the 
rooms used for jazz are also used for other stuff!  what to 
tune..................???? Maybe we're just too "down on the farm" for 
different temperaments; and to maintain these instruments changing back 
and forth is not good policy.

Been doing it for years. Perhaps one out of 15 will prefer the ET, 
everybody 
else seems to think their pianos are more resonant and musical in a WT of 
some 
sort.
