well temperament (C#/Db)

Well, I stand corrected re key or pitch in reference to
Jonathan Walker's remarks, but I don't see what essential
difference it makes to what I was saying.

Of course, you can't tune one choir of strings to more
than one well temperament at a time; but you could tune
differently on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or you could tune
one 8' one way, and another 8' another, couldn't you ?

In fact, for 1/4-tone music, etc., ordinary harpsichords
are, I think, a lot more convenient than ordinary pianos.
