Tuning Scale for Modern Spanish Barrel Piano
By Ed Gaida

All of this is stenciled on the piano plate above the tuning pins...BUT
sometimes it is blurred and you cannot read it...
From the bass end starting in the octave below tenor C.

5 Bass:
G, A, B, D, E

20 Doubles (strings that is):
A, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, G, G#, A B, C, C#,D, D#, E, F, G, G#

7 trichords:
A, B, C, C#, D, D#, E

The imported version has all of this pasted inside the top lid, and all the
notes are on a staff...regular like.  I have never been able to remember
anything too far above the treble staff...that is why I switched from B
flat clarinet to Alto...easier to read the music.
