I have been asked to tune a 19-tET(tone equal temperament) for a new 
composition in a few weeks. It will require 2 pianos to be tuned as follows: 

Any theories on long term effects from this tuning on a decent piano? 
I'm considering using practice room pianos due to the "uncertain" long 
term ramifications of tuning +31 and +42 cents sharp on some unisons. 
Any comments? 

Here's a we site dedicated to non 12 tone eq:
