Bruce, doing an entire re-tuning to a different temperament would in my 
opinion be an insult to your audience. They would be subjected to a 
minimum of 20 minutes of excruciating boredom while the instrument is 
re-tuned. They would also have to stay relatively quiet during that 
time. Unthinkable! I guess you could bring it off with a somewhat 
prolonged intermission (wine in the lobby to get them out of the hall). 
Alternatives would be to use a well-temperament which would serve all 
the pieces in your mash-up or to bum another harpsichord and do as you 
did last time.

Lots of luck,

Rob
