Scale of Wurlitzer Caliola
By Mike Knudsen

Could someone please send me (and/or post to the MMD if you think it's of
interest) the scale data on the Wurlitzer Caliola?  I know that it's a
65-note
tracker bar, plus extra holes, but that only 44 notes are equipped with
pipes,
and those 44 notes are fully chromatic.  But at what note do they start,
given that Middle C is "C4"?

Also, what is the tracker bar spacing?  I have a sample roll and it seems to
be just slightly more than 8 holes per inch, or about 3.2 mm per hole (in
neither system does it seem to come out even).

Thanks
Mike Knudsen
