Ne electronic instruments. I keep my Steinway in equal temperament. The organ at church is tuned to equal, at 68 degrees Farenheit; my practice time in the winyter is usually at closer to 55 degrees, so when I use the reed stops, the beat presence is alarming/astounding. Harpsichords at home and church. Clavichords: unfretted, double fretted usually to mean-tone, triple fretted usually at Kirnberger II. (changing tuning on fretted clavichords isn't the work of a spare 10 minutes). Recorders by Alec Loretto and Rob Turner made as replicas of Renaissance and 17th century instruments, which can handle any temperament. Cornetto by John McCann which picks its own temperamints and with which I have many heated disagreements. Sackbutt which will play anything.
