Hi Jason You are very right saying Jarrett is a strange bird. Did you hear his record "The Book of Ways" ? He plays re-recording improvisations on two clavichords. Seems that he then tried every possibility of temperament adaptation to musical idea (or the other way round). Great results, anyway.

The article indicates that he tunes his own harpsichord. He's a strange bird ... he apparently prepares for an improvisational concert by *not* touching the piano for a couple of weeks beforehand, so that everything is completely fresh/new.
