Re: 080915 MMDigest, tuning one note lower:  F-Sharp becomes E natural.

Are you talking about a keyboard organ or a purely automatic note-roll
played instrument?  If you're talking about a keyboard instrument,
I would like to add a plea to give up this notion and tune it correctly.

If anyone should ever wish to accompany the instrument with another,
you have disaster.  Also, any musician with perfect pitch (the ability
to identify the pitch played, not just the relative distances travel)
won't be able to play it.

I have a Sohmer piano at my sister's which was tuned down because the
tuner was afraid of breaking strings.  I tried to play it to see how he
did (before I knew that he tuned it down) and gave up.  It's impossible.
