And I'll echo those thoughts. As I have posted numerous times before, =
wind instruments have a huge variation in internal tuning. Even though =
they follow a careful format at the manufacturing level, there are too =
many variables which will affect pitch.

    I wonder if anyone has done research on wind instruments of the =
periods being
    discussed. Although these instruments are adjustable, instruments =
such as the
    clarinet, flute, etc. have a fixed relationship between the notes in =
the scale. It
    would seem that this relationship would be fixed by the manufacturer =
in the
    temperament style in use at that time.

  Terry N.,

  Not wishing to discourage some research into this area, I must still =
say that ALL wind instruments have considerable leeway in pitch beyond =
the manufactured specifications--changes in embouchure alone can change =
the pitch by as much as a quarter of a step.  This being the case, if =
the instrument in question is even reasonably well made, the player can =
find a way to be in tune regardless of the temperament on whatever =
keyboard instrument might be involved.  In short, there are too many =
variables, IMHO, for this line of reasoning to be very satisfying.  =
(From the point of view of a life-long brass player......)
