Tuning the Organ One Note Lower
By Nicholas Simons

One should really talk about 'one tone lower' or 'one semitone lower'.
In this respect 'one note lower' is meaningless, as organ scales are
not chromatic.

If E becomes D then that is a drop of one tone, so F cannot become E,
since this is only a semitone.  F should become D-sharp and F-sharp
becomes E.

Alternatively, you could drop each note by a semitone.

Regards from Great Britain,
Nicholas Simons
