[CAUT] Harpsichord questions (long)

[David Vanderhoofven]

Fred,

Thanks for all your helpful advice!  I appreciate your suggestions and help 
with your long detailed response.

The professor that built the harpsichord said that perhaps the 
harpsichordist would tune it themselves.  He also said that he would 
probably tune it in ET unless the orchestra had other requests for 
temperament.  I will let you know what happens.
