hmmm, tunings eh? this isn't that common a question so forgive me if i don't have all the answers on this one! however, the current flagship 'home' piano, the hp207e certainly does have the option to select different tunings including natural, werkmeister and some eastern tunings if memory serves.
if you get the chance to mess about with one in a store, the option to alter the tuning can be found in the 'piano designer' section. i can't remember if the piano designer has exactly the same options on all the instruments on which it appears, but if so, you should also be able to change the tunings on fp7, rd700gx, hpi7 and the kr117.
i only mention the hp207e sprecifically because i did a demonstration of that instrument at a piano summer school last week (i still do the odd bit of freelance work for roland) and alternative tunings were definitely possible on that model.
hope this helps

ps thanks for the wb!
