Silversorcerer- your arguments could use a bit more passion. I can see you with a couple of Cooper devotees in a biker bar after a few rounds, LOL.
WRT equal temperament, as a pianist / keyboardist I've enjoyed things sounding the same in any key, especially since I'm a fan of key transpositions between verses, often 1/2 step. (Since returning to and of late arranging for clarinet, I've reverted to full step key changes, fancy that.) BUT I think that today there is no excuse for a computer based keyboard to stay with rigid tuning per note. Rather, it should adapt the tunings for the chords being played, to make the fifths perfect, for instance. Does anyone do this? Has anyone even tried? (Does it, would it- really sound better to us?) Vocalists, clarinetists, and other wind players always make these adjustments "automatically", right? Or is it too close to know the difference? Fascinating topic, gist for a few doctoral dissertations in acoustical engineering, physics, or music.
