Hello, Laurence, At 07:20 AM 10/6/2011, you wrote: >About 1740-42, someone living in Charleston, South Carolina, ordered >from London 'Knoller's rules for tuning'. Can anyone identify this, >presumably a publication for keyboard players? Admitting that this is a huge reach, I think I remember reading a brief mention of this in an article on pianos/piano tuning (possibly in the Broadwood entry) in: The Edinburgh Encyclopaedia "Conducted by" David Brewster The version I have is the American Version, published by Parker and Delaplaine, 1831. It's been in archival storage for years and isn't really accessible, or I would gladly check this out. I do realize that this is a long shot, and suggest the possibility only because the title rang a bell from studies I did a long time ago. In any event, I hope this is at least marginally helpful.
