Trevor Stevenson Compares the Venetian Boat Song of Mendelssohn on three pianos tuned to different tunings: Thomas Young Well Temperament, Victorian Well Temperament and Standard Equal Temperament. Pianos Prepared and tuned by Carl Radford, RPT
The tunings would be more obvious if the piece played contained more accidentals (4 sharps or flats) but still, with this piece in g minor there are subtle differences.
the last piano is smaller so it should sounds worse, as a steinway model b will sound different to model o.
i am not sure that difference is the difference caused by pitch though.

I agree, but the difference is still very obvious. The Young tuned piano is more resonant and louder. The music is more 3-dimensional too.
