student needs help any takers

[Clyde Hollinger]

Maybe this is what she is talking about.  The Reblitz book. second
edition, p. 210, mentions that each half-step is higher to the twelfth
root of two (1.0594631).  Multiply A220 by this number and you will get
A#, vibrating at 233.08188 vibrations per second, and so on.  Of course
this is theoretical and doesn't account for stretch.
