David, It depends what you mean by "real effect." A small effect is still real. I have never done any historical tunings, and without the discussions on this list, and Ed Foote's wonderful class I attended a year ago, I would never have even given it a thought. Now I at least think about it, and I expect sooner or later I will give it a try. I know my next sentence is likely to fuel the flame of a fire I'm getting tired of reading about, but I think it was Bill Bremmer who said something like: A lot of aural tuners *think* they are tuning ET when in fact they are probably tuning (I forget what). I often think about that. Bill, I hope I didn't misquote you; feel free to respond. I'll be gone for the next two days, but I won't unsubscribe, since activity on this list usually diminishes over the weekend anyway.
