De Gustibus (* tuning)?

      Wow!  Now this makes me wonder if I have read this right.  The
resulting sound of a piano tuned in something such as a Kirnberger/Prinz is
way different than that of equal temperament.
     It seems to me that if there was a correspondingly large difference
between two tuners tuning ET, one of them would not be passing any tuning
tests.  Have I read the original post wrong?

mad at anybody, OK?  I love pianos, and I like most people that do too!) )
