@mahgister Thank you. I read this while ago in Wikipedia. The title was Piano Tuning. Opinion about sounding "like out of tune" was expressed by John Siau - technical director of Benchmark.
It becomes really strange when it comes to digital/electric pianos. Most of them digitize the sound of real piano and because of that have also stretched overtones, but Roland doesn't digitize using complex algorithms to produce piano like sound instead. Because of that they even allow to choose stretched or non-stretched tuning. Of course there is no digital piano that sounds like real thing and that alone shows how difficult it is to reproduce piano sound.
How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear?
A pianist friend just recommended this article and pianist to me, knowing that I'm presently doing a speaker shoot-out. My question to you all is this:
How important is solo piano recordings to your evaluation of audio equipment -- in relation to, say, orchestra, bass, voice, etc.? What, specifically, does piano reveal exceptionally well, to your ears?
Here's the article:

@brownsfan and others, I've been listening to the 1.5 minute piece, "Britten’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings." It's an outstanding test, easy to get to know, and very revealing. |
Thanks i will go for it after listening it on youtube... Really good for sound and interpretation... Britten rules...

@mahgister @hilde45 I have that Britten piece also. I love it, and pretty much everything else Benjamin Britten wrote. |
