Just for fun, we put the lute and the harpsichord in meantone for 
bunch of pieces in our last show. I used David v Ooijen's system, 
with stcky tape. I went for the clear tape cause I'm so style concious.
It was sticky, but no more so than practicing while eating a 
Croissant with jam and butter.

Here's the first piece, the famous Bergamasca of Uccellini

It is also on youtube, but the sound is not so good on youtube

The Bach pieces were done in Neidthardt, should you wish to compare.

The main thing about MT is the resonance. It is just different.
It isn't perfectly in tune, but the harpsichord and the 
archlute/baroque guitar agreed very well.
