Tuning Scale for Polyphon
By Hans Krook

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Thank you everybody for your kind help!  It's fantastic there are so
many helpful unknown "self-playing" friends all over the world.

I got four scales today, now when I see that all of them are the same
I really can be sure it is the right scale!

Thankful greetings from Sweden

 [ Caution, Hans: the scale simply gives the name of the note (the
 [ tine) plucked by the disc.  The fundamental frequency (Hz) of the
 [ vibrating tine is often very different from the "Equal Temperament
 [ Tuning" scale normally applied to a piano, etc.  That's because
 [ each musical box has a unique personality and unique "stretching"
 [ of the overtones.  See the MMD articles "Musical Box Tuning Schemes"
