Hi Joe,
The Germans used H for B ages ago.It still can be found on some antique =
bar type music instruments.
Seems that there were two european instrumental music lines, German and =
Italian. The italians playing violins and mostly in sharps, while the =
Germans were into the use of wind instruments that played more in the =
flat keys.
Bb was always there in the key and referred to as B. So when instruments =
were able to play more chromatically they needed to call B natural by =
another name hence the "H" . At least that was what my profs told me =
long ago. I do not have sources to quote.

  Uh, Stephen,
  I'm having a little trouble finding HH, h, h1, h2, & h3 on my piano  =
:-)  :-)

  Should I also assume that Diane knows that the only actual frequency =
from your chart one might find existing on his well tuned piano would be =
A  @ 440Hz?

    >  Does anyone know of a site on the net where I can find a chart =
giving the frequencies for all the notes on the piano?  I am at the =
hearing safety convention and it would be helpful to me in talking with =
some of these people who understand frequencies a
    nd hearing but nothing about piano tuning.
    > I don't have much time to research on the internet because of =
classes, roommates, etc.  and would greatlly appreciate it if anyone has =
this information.
