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.
