<<Not Steve Earle, the country-rock musician...?
Yes, the one and the same. I introduced him and Ray Kennedy to the
Young temperament when they leased a Steinway from me for their studio, and
it bowled them over! Gives me some vindication that there is more than one
way to tune a piano.

>>I've been hearing about your Beethoven cd - and I was wondering if

you could provide me with info about where to get it,

You can send a check for $16 and I will mail it to you.

>as well as

where to find other meantone and possibly ji recordings of baroque to

romantic works. Reccomendations would be wonderful.>>

Well, sadly, there is only one other that I know of, a CD of the Diabelli
Variations done by Susan Halligan,(Yamaha C7 in a Kirnberger). There may be
others commercially available, but not usually on the modern piano. Dave Hill
has numerous recordings of meantone on a piano, but I don't know that they
are commercially available. Dave???
Malcolm Bilson put out the entire Beethoven sonatas, but they are
recorded on fortepianos and the various students did their own tuning, so
who knows what one is listening to.
Thanks for the note,
