It was with horror but actually no surprise to find that one of the city orchestras in arguably one of the most cultured and academic cities in the  world has closed in the UK - for lack of audience. The orchestra outnumbered the audience - https://theviolinchannel.com/englands-city-of-oxford-orchestra-gives-final-concert

Music simply isn't being taught and it's not appreciated. Rumour tells me that Steinway Hamburg is down to a four day working week.

Why? Music has become uninteresting and classical music now competes with electronics and relaxing ASMR sequences of notes, healing bells, and the maximum exposure in night clubs appealing only to the animal rhythms of our species.

In editing the recording of the concert last weekend, I realised there was a shocking modulation. Apologies for posting it again but on account of the title of the thread which was tongue in cheek people might not have clicked on it. It's at the end of the phrase starting https://youtu.be/Bf_ZqCb-wms?t=2908

I don't say that this is musically historic, nor musically right, but it sure makes the audience sit up and be shaken out of indifference. It provides a pausal landmark within the piece and has a most important effect. In normal tuning, or less obvious, the casual listener can pass right over the moment of modulation, of key change, and miss the excitement of a key change. It makes the audience sit up and take notice - and interest. It reaches the heart.

With a tuning like this we can revive interest in music.

Tim Foster has written elsewhere about the success that he's found with tuning my method and another colleague wrote to me for details to tune a Steinway Model O as an experiment. A good musician tried it in his shop and said that of all the pianos she would buy in the shop, it would be that instrument.

Harmonic unequal temperament tuning can sell pianos . . . . 

If someone is in touch with a Steinway showroom or the factory please can you tell them?

Best wishes

Honestly Mr. Cole. To comment on a thread about how much difference a particular tuning style can make by pointing out that the piano is out of tune hardly seems fair. :>)
