I tend to aggree... but then who knows.. and there probably are always going to be exceptions.. Still based on what I see out there today ... not.. Heck most people couldnt recognize the difference between a well tuned piano and one that had a grenade thrown in it 30 years back or so... grin.. Be all that as it may... assuming you are right for a moment... that kinda throws any justification for judging any particular temperament to be more "appropriate" then any other for any given peice of music... right out the door. I mean.. the "artists intent" part of the equation just dissapears. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway
