Greetings, Well, I tried it. The tuning scheme that Mr. Lehman extrapolated from the inscription on Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier". The customer was astonished at the effect. This is a customer that had been using a later well-temperament, and he felt that the Bach tuning was a large improvement. He plays a lot of Chopin, as well as Beethoven, Haydn, and Bach. It seems that Bach knew what he was doing( does that surprise anyone?). I would encourage tuners to try it and have a listen, this thing has some serious claim to authenticity and fits well with virtually all the music I have heard played on it, jazz and 20th century standard stuff, too.
