    Dear Colleagues

    A little while ago I was tuning in Greece and asked to tune for a concert in a fortnight's time. The recording is on Beethoven Concerto 1 Op.15 Steinway Model B unequal temperament

     and the piano uses my modified Kirnberger III tuning. The orchestra had no problems with the unequal temperament piano

    Best wishes

    Wonderful performance! It may be worth noting that C major (the key of the piece) has the greatest offset in this temperament, a little greater than +10c from ET, yet it worked quite well!
