Yes, and on a violin (or another instrument not constrained to discrete pitched) equal temperament is not as necessary. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament):
> Unfretted string ensembles, which can adjust the tuning of all notes except for open strings, and vocal groups, who have no mechanical tuning limitations, sometimes use a tuning much closer to just intonation for acoustic reasons. Other instruments, such as some wind, keyboard, and fretted instruments, often only approximate equal temperament, where technical limitations prevent exact tunings. Some wind instruments that can easily and spontaneously bend their tone, most notably trombones, use tuning similar to string ensembles and vocal groups.
