Indeed! My comment was based on the fact that most commercially available
synthesisers _are_ limited to twelve pitch classes per channel.

When I suggested that no extreme tunings would work on WTC under normal
assumptions, yes, I meant things like 1/4-comma meantone. I appreciate
the comments on the tunings given by Ed Foote. I wonder if he'd comment
on Werckmeister III for Book 2, or make other observations on this
subject generally. (I agree that Werckmeister III on a piano is not
something I'd like to contemplate except as an experiment, unrelated to
this repertory.)

Again, anyone know which tunings are used by Tilney, Leonhardt, or Gilbert
in their recordings of WTC I and II (I know the title applies only to
Book 1).

I believe that Huguette Dreyfuss plays the WTC in some slightly different
than 12-equal tuning. I heard a bit of this and didn't pursue it because I
didn't like the playing as playing. I don't recall which tuning it
was.

Anyone know what some of the Dutch recordings used?
