Could it be that this is the basis of the attraction some have for HTs?  They 
do bring out a different shading for each key.  Perhaps this allows those who 
don't have perfect pitch to experience hearing the "character of keys" that 
those with perfect pitch hear all the time, regardless of temperament.
