Dear List,
Here are the specifications for how I tuned a Yamaha C7 at the Annual
Convention in Albuquerque.  Anyone is welcome to use these specs in order to
study this kind of temperament or compare it to an ET.  Using it in a "blind"
study is encouraged.

*The automatic partial selection in the Sanderson Accu-Tuner must be
 mannually changed at note C3 to read on C5, at C4 to read on C5, and
 at C5 to read on C5.  Failure to read on the correct partial will yield
 incorrect results!!!
