Cremona G Flute and Violin Pipes
By John Bartlett

Does anyone have the flute and violin pipe scales that were used on
the Cremona G, using A rolls? From YouTube videos, there appears to
be 32 pipes, but I don't know what the lowest note in this system is.
Were pipes tuned to A=435 Hz on this piano?

I have the pipe scales for the Seeburg H pipes, drawn by Bob Stanoszek
in 1983, with pictorials by Ken Smith and I wonder if they are close to
being the same scales. There are 34 pipes on the Seeburg H, covering
almost 3 octaves, tuned to A435 voiced at 5.5 inches of pressure. Using
these same scales, if they are same at all, could these be tuned to
A440 to match an existing piano?

What type of blower and reservoir wind system would be required to
power a set of the 32 pipes used in the Cremona G scale?
