Speaking of Piano Tech courses and books...

[Richard Moody]

A good start is Helmholtz,  _Sensations of Tone_  with appendices
by Ellis the translator who invented cents.  With data from 1860
though 1877.    The best modern work I have come across regarding
temperaments is New Groves, with the article "Temperaments"

> 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.
