Non-ETs; more organic than ET?

[Dean May]

This is a fascinating discussion. I have never paid much attention to WT
before, but am anxious to try it on my daughter's piano and have her play me
some Mozart.

Looking at my RCT tools, I find a couple dozen different WTs. How does one
select which one to use?

Engineers (who are not always the most artistic lot) tend to think that if a
temperament can be constructed with a rational number it must be right.
However, if one wants to hear what Mozart was hearing you can't use ET.  Of
course hearing what Mozart heard might not be important to you, but if it
is................
