Band Organ Tuning
By Fritz Gellerman

Robbie Rhodes:

As we discussed on the phone, I have listed below the tuning scale for
the Wurlitzer 150 which gives the de Caus "just" temperament, expressed
in equal temperament cents. Perhaps by sending this through the MMD
others will contribute their two cents worth.

•    C       0 cents
    C#     71
    D     204
    E     386
    F     498
    F#    590
    G     702
    A     884
    B    1088
    C    1200

•Jim Spriggs should send me the offset for D# in a few days, and I will
try retuning the Hofbauer 20-note monkey organ first to see if there is
any discernable difference, before attempting to retune the large
organ.
