Hi Folks

I put together the steel tube cutoffs from my Eikosany marimba. Reading
from the tuner this is what I get in cents deviation from 12 ET : -

A5 +33
A#5 +30.7
C6 -47.6
C6 +20
C#6 +29.8
C#6 +45
F#6 -12
G#6 -49.7
A6 -12.5
A#6 -5.3
B6 -14.8
E7 -23.8
F#7 -12
A#7 +25
C8 +40
D#8 +21
D#8 +37

Big gaps between C#6 and F#6 and between B6 and E7.

The last two are ballpark figures - the tuner goes ballistic at very
high frequencies.

Any patterns, fragments of ETs, useful subsets, etc? I don't know what
it is but it sure sounds good.

Kind Regards
