No, many, but not all. Enough to play continuo with, often enough to play a 
part of the solo repertoire, but without adjustments (tastini, refingering, 
adaptations for each piece, whatever) you'll have some _very_ out of tune 
notes.

Don't forget, I like to play in mean tone temperament and often do, but 
still, it's not perfect.

Check my website for a DIY and short explanation.
