Er.. me too.  Unless I do it by accident, I almost never play two notes at 
once.  I don't play any harp I buy until I've put it into equal temperament. 
 If I try to play melodies on a harp in any other fine-tuning I hear it 
acutely and it mortally puts me off.  Oddly, I find it harder (though far 
from impossible) to hear the difference when I listen to recordings of 
myself.
