Jason:

Yes, perhaps I should have mentioned that.  I should qualify my response a
bit first.  I don't generally tune WT's.  I prefer ET for the most part, but
I don't mind educating my clients who show interest in other possibilities.
Anyway, I find it breaks up the tuning monotony a bit.  I have many clients
with two pianos and find this to be a very convenient way to introduce the
subject.  Plus it gives them a real mode of comparison.  I don't prefer the
stronger WT's.  I find them unpleasant.  A subtle change between keys is
plenty to create bit of surprise without jarring the senses or putting that
look on your face like you've heard something wrong.  Twenty-one cents wide
thirds is too much for my ear, and I don't like to compromise the fifths too
much either.  So I generally stick to either the Moore, Coleman 11, and
recently the Wendell mild that was introduced to me by Paul Bailey.
