Aaron,

Peter performed twice last year here at IC. Both times I tuned the  
1/7th comma modified mean-tone he requested. I received the numbers  
from a technician out in the mid west who's name I cannot remember. I  
put the numbers in my RCT and all worked well. Peter was very  
appreciative.

F3 +4.5
F# -3.4
G +2.2
G# -3.7
A 0
A# +3.7
B -1.5
C +2.2
C# -2.9
D +.7
D# +4.4
E -.7
F4 +2.9
