[CAUT] Knoller's rules for tuning

Admitting that this is a huge reach, I think I remember reading a 
brief mention of this in an article on pianos/piano tuning (possibly 
in the Broadwood entry) in:

The Edinburgh Encyclopaedia

"Conducted by"

David Brewster

The version I have is the American Version, published by Parker and 
Delaplaine, 1831.  It's been in archival storage for years and isn't 
really accessible, or I would gladly check this out.

I do realize that this is a long shot, and suggest the possibility 
only because the title rang a bell from studies I did a long time ago.

In any event, I hope this is at least marginally helpful.

Kind regards.

Horace
