I once was told by a keyboards expert that, depending of course on the player's preferences, an expert technician (such as Steinway will send out to an important recital in NYC) can, if there is one major work that accounts for much of the program, for example, Schubert's B minor sonata, the technician can nudge the instrument away from equal temperament in the direction of making the notes of the B minor scale more consonant with each other. But not all the way to a justly-intoned B minor scale.
There is a small minority school of thought that equal temperament was the death of classical music and the cause of the 12-tone reaction. But post hoc is not necessarily propter hoc.
