Speaking of Piano Tech courses and books...

[Ed Sutton]

_Musical Acoustics: An Introduction_ by Donald E. Hall  1980 Wadsworth, Inc.
ISBN 0-534-00758-9

Hall has a PhD in Physics and an MA in Music.
The book is wide ranging and coherent, includes chapters on: sound
propogation; the human ear and sound perception; melody, harmony and scales;
string vibrations and piano acoustics; room acoustics, pitch perception;
Harmonic Intervals and Tuning (including historic temperament constructions
and musical influences of historic temps)...and more.

It may be in your school library.
Very much worth looking for, IMHO.

> I bought a paper backed copy.  No offense intended--just a comment.  I
would like to have a list of good piano technology books that cover the
history of musical scales, history of tempered scales, theory behind
tempered scales, etc.  Maybe I'm not looking in the right place--or maybe
I'm not looking at all.
