<<  The power I am speaking 
 of is not measured in decibels, but rather in the degree to which a listener 
 can be emotionally moved around.  Music that brings an audience to tears is 
 powerful music.   >>

Thta's what happened in Albuquerque.  The Equal Beating Victorian that was 
heard in Milwaukee was received just fine and it was selected as the favorite 
of 5, including ET in Providence.  The 18th Century Modified Meantone 
temperament heard in a previous KC Convention was also well received.  But in 
Albuquerque, the powerful sound of the wolf key sent several angry people to 
Kent Webb.  They demanded that this kind of thing NEVER be heard again!

However, Timothy Farley RPT of Madison who has a piano dealership, tunes most 
of his pianos that way and has had many concerts of many different kinds of 
music, all tuned in 1/7 Comma Meantone.  I wonder why no one ever complained 
about those?
