It doesn't make sense to transpose something to a different key on such an instrument since none of the notes repeat. A piano tuned with Pythagorean tuning would only have one key.
- tunesmith 13y agoThat would only work for the simplest tunes. As soon as you get to classical music (which pick certain, different keys for pianistic reasons), or any tune that modulates, you'd be in for some listening pain.
