been tuned since it was re-strung (Brown & Allen, ten years ago) in
modified meantone."

Andrew,
I'd suggest Broadwoods Best for these thingees. The inharmonicity, (or
balance of, therein),
would make a "modified meantone" be a bit too raucous for the average ear,
IMHO. (They sound way too raucous in most temperaments, anyway.<G>)
