Of course, you can't tune one choir of strings to more than one well temperament at a time; but you could tune differently on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or you could tune one 8' one way, and another 8' another, couldn't you ? In fact, for 1/4-tone music, etc., ordinary harpsichords are, I think, a lot more convenient than ordinary pianos.
