I've always wondered why the three Eb's on my clarinet don't
sound quite the same.

>the loudness of a tone can strongly affect our
subjective impression of its pitch.
One of the reasons for choosing A (of whatever pitch), I
believe, for tuning is that above and below the middle 400s
Hz people imagine that that pitch moves up or down with
volume. Around the middle 400Hz range it doesn't seem to move.

This is the best idea I have heard - but on a clavichord you can
bend the notes with after touch, no?
This all started for me transcribing a piece written on guitar
with bent notes. If you start with four to seven fixed tones and
can adjust the rest with technique, perfect intonation is more easily
obtainable.

p.s. I have been hearing a lot of natural horns (New York Early
Music Celebration). The good players intone Justly, and the
others not so Well.

It will happen. All it takes is an electronic that has enough
smarts to recognise the chord being played and adjust the tuning of the
notes appropriatly. In a day when computer chips are running at
Gigahertz speeds, real time adjustment is not going to be a problem for
electronic sounds.
For a pipe organ, the pipe could be mechanically adjusted very
quickly, but the easier solution would be pipes that can be lipped with
the fipple or reed replaced with an electronic driver.
