To Captain Birdseye, I suggest you re-read the note. For anyone to go to a classical concert and not understand the tuning that is involved for that type of setting is showing a high expectation that cannot be met. For you to call it an "amateurish" performance is not correct - you are slanting the story to fit your conclusion, which is not accurate.   It is one thing to discuss a folk setting, and I tend to agree with your thoughts, but to use that other thread as some sort of proof of your thoughts is just not appropriate.
