1/4 comma meantone tuning

[Larry]

Hi folks!

How many of you have had the time to waste and put a 1/4 comma meantone 
tuning on your home piano? ;)  I just tried it on a Yamaha C7 for fun 
today.  I couldn't get it to work very well unless I allowed the 3rds to 
beat about 2-3 /sec, and 5ths more narrow than they should.  I figured this 
must be due to the greater inharmonicity of the modern grand piano compared 
to relatively no inharmonicity on the organs of Bach's time.  Nevertheless, 
it sure demonstrated how nice some chords can sound, and how awful a couple 
of them were.  (C#-G# is a very bad 5th!)

Just curious today....
