The presenter on the utube video you linked to even says so himself (at least about some intervals) even as he proudly proclaims the virtues of these various unequally tempered scales! Somehow, it all seems very British! (Except for the fact that this fetish for old tuning systems has become entrenched, along with other godawful "historically informed" mannerisms. in every music department the world over.)

In any case, we've solved the problem of tuning and staying on pitch these days with Autotune! ;-)

Oh if you think that's nasty try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzrIWR3s84Q

But the whole point is contrast with the nice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV0bkcSr_Kg becomes really interesting as an x-ray to the music.

But these are not the tunings which can be used for universal use.

The seminar is about ones which can.

    Ha! It rains quite a lot from time to time in England so we get used to making the best of it. Wouldn't life be boring if skies were always grey and never rained, and the sun never shone.
    
    And that's the effect that modern tuning has given to our music. And thus the seminar on 6th May
