not the problem, even if we can point the finger at them. Historical wind instruments have very few technical limitations and I can assure you tuning is not one of them. and just like string players we can play any note with just intonation according to the key we're in. Natural brass instruments, with their built-in tunings, can bend notes too, to a far lesser extent, but they still sound a lot more in tune and better than modern brass.

Unless, of course, you use a cembalo universalis which has strings and keys for EVERY note with it's octaves divided into 24 parts;) Wind players aren't lazy or, oddly enough, incompetent. We like playing in meantone temperments because it's not only easier it sounds better. Unfortunately if we (period musicians) want to get paid we need to cater to the modern ears of our audiences and end up using valotti-like tunings which are closer to the equal side of things. Keyboards and keyboardists...

to be more complicated with winds, I don't know too much of the technicalities being a string player, but I'm assured that it is possible to use just intonation but that most players are too lazy or incompetent to do so. The result seems to be a sort of quasi-equal temperament (even with a lot of professional orchestras, mainly the largers ones) and when there is deviation from this it always seems to be that awful "leading notes should lead" philosophy which just destroys harmony.

I think this is why ensemble music is so much more expressive than keyboard music, as that freedom of intonation is retained, I like to think it was one of the reasons Weber abandoned keyboard continuo with his orchestra too, as he seemed to have a very sensitive ear for harmonic as well as timbral colouration. The problem is that strings have the freedom to use just intonation in whichever key they are in, and modulations aren't problematic as long as everyone is listening. However things seem
