..i've got a gig tuning for the St. Louis Symphony coming to town next week..they want the piano tuned to 442..no big deal, right..? ..all this talk recently about temperments has my interest..I saw a video once where Bill Garlick played a Bach piece in Equal, Well, and Mean Temperments..there was a big difference to this ear in the temperments.. ..do we run the risk of taking an instrument that is use to being at a certain pitch, changing it, and perhaps making it somewhat unstable for a period of time..??..perhaps the next 2 tunings?.. ..this is what I'm lead to believe.. ..isn't it also true that the less we move pins and settle string, the more stable the instrument..?? ..I personally like the idea of tuning in the temperments..my concern is the instrument..or should it be..?
