19-equal isn't so bad on harpsichord

Tuned Eb-G# up in ~1/3-comma meantone/19-equal by ear a few days ago. The harpsichord is not quite as in tune as I'd like it to be, and I noticed in particular the interval from C#-Eb seemed slightly narrower than it should have been. BUT, I really quite like the sound of 1/3-comma/19-equal, the major thirds just a little on the flat side, those chromatic semitones really nice and narrow, and lots of resonance on the 3:5 major sixths and 5:6 minor thirds. This is a brief run through most keys, including all major and minor triads, and also all of the subminor keys and some supermajors/superlydians. A lot of tertian/triadic harmony. Some major slip ups when I'm trying to think about two key areas at the same time, but oh well, it is what it is. Hopefully a demo of the practicality of this much tempering on acoustic instruments. Think I'll do my next one in ~2/7-comma, or somewhere splitting the difference with 1/4-comma, since I want those 6:7 and 7:9 approximations a little better, and the flatness of the major thirds does bother me a little sometimes.
