Broadwood Best

[Jason Kanter]

Jorgensen goes to great lengths to correct Ellis's figures based on the presumption that some notes in the tuning had to have changed during the 2 weeks between tuning and measurement. I guess Jorgensen was moved to do this because the figures Ellis published don't display a very regular tuning. But his reasoning is sound, if speculative.

| A couple of issues.  The cents offsets on the web site are given
| to two decimal places.  Ellis only gave whole cent figures.   How
| you can translate whole cent figures into two place I would like
| to know.
|      The "best" is said to come from "line 4 "   Actually if you
| look at the original source which is Ellis appendices in
| Helmholtz, the best tuning or the one closest to ET comes from
| line  5 .  So why wasn't that used?
|     However looking at the original line four from Ellis,  it
| appears the web site is much further from Ellis than #4 was from
| ET.  So the only conclusion can be that some one is mistaken or
| relying on a source too far away from the original which is Ellis'
| figures in Helmholtz.  ---rm
