Jim, Owen Jorgensen's vast compendium entitled "Tuning" has aural instructions for a very large number of HTs. This book was mentioned in the thread-I think Fred points out that some of the beat counting instructions are a little over the top, but over all, a very useful and interesting book and probably what you need.

Maybe a "HT for Dummies" booklet? Maybe I missed it in all the many posts. Thanks.

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.
