Hi!
I have just uploaded some rather interesting recordings of a concert last weekend for which I tuned a modern Yamaha piano to a temperament which is a derivative of Werkmeister III. The tunings that I had done before were all on 19th century instruments and in the piano world, equal temperament appears to be thought to be an instrinsic part of the modern piano. On the basis of my experiments, I believe that view to be mistaken:

Who said that unequal temperament was unsuitable for 20th century music?
