Leslie,

There is not much to say about harpsichord inharmonicity.  It is 
practically non existent in the medium range - I even had some negative 
figures at when measuring with a SAT.  Taking account of the "natural" 
inharmonicity, I get a big 2.2 cents deviation on the 4 foot stop (C7) 
in my tuning chart.
