Tuning Scale of 19-note Aristonette
By Christian Greinacher

In MMD 001211 Kevin McElhone asked for the tuning scale of the
Aristonette.  Here it is:

  d, e, a, h, cis',
  d, e, fis, gis, a, h, cis'',
  d, dis, e, fis, g, gis, a

One has to keep in mind that the absolute pitch may be different on
each individual instrument.  One instrument which I have in my
collection has the following pitch (measured with a = 440 Hz):

  e, fis, h, cis', dis,
  e, fis, gis, ais, h, cis'', dis,
  e, f, fis, gis, a, ais, h

Musically

 [ The traditional note names are equivalent to:
 [ D,E,A,B,C#,  D,E,F#,G#,A,B,C#,  D,D#,E,F#,G,G#,A
 [ This gamma seems to be best for songs in key of D or A.
 [ Thanks for the information, Christian.  -- Robbie
