The Fisk-Nanney organ at Stanford Memorial Chapel is an interesting instrument, with both fifth-comma and well-tempered tunings (in a pipe organ!). The “Brustpositive and the Brustpedalia are fixed in meantone and offer two sub-semitones, or split sharps, per octave, D sharp/E flat and G sharp/A flat”
