D minor is actually the "saddest" of all keys :( . But it does make people weep instantly-- you are correct on that one.

Only on a just-tempered instrument, which you don't often see.

Equal temperament intonation pretty much destroyed the different tensions inherent in different keys.

There's a (pretty bad) picture of Hansford Rowe's just-tempered Warwick bass at the top right of this page.

Having the frets all over the place like that apparently makes the instrument sound nicer in particular keys.
