I happen to have seen a number of lute CDs recently that do advertise the temperaments used. Often 1/6 comma MT. Oh dear, cannot find the references now. Of hand: Matthew Wadsworth (14 Silver Strings and the Johnson CD): 1/6 comma MT La Milanoyse by Charles-Edouard Fantin has a picture of visible tastini. Looked like 1/4 comma MT to me. On several CDs we can hear some sort of non-ET in a trade-off: some beautiful thirds and some rather out of tune chords. ;-) When the CDs with mention of temperament used come to mind, I'll let you know.
