david fabre Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Just noticed....don't know why I missed it before...page 470..... http://books.google.com/books?id=x_A5AAAAI...brr=1#PPA470,M1 Do you mean the description of the instrument in the appendix ? I also noticed it. The appendix is by Ellis, the english translator who actually added a lot to the original book (in particular he seems to be the inventor of the notation of intervals with "cents", commonly used now ). This description is quite interesting ; however this instrument was apparently used only for experiments with tunings, not really for musical performance.

JackWoehr Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Works OK for me. Try this alternate link: http://books.google.com/books?id=x_A5AAAAI...amp;output=text Amazingly garbled scan. It's a beautiful example of how many of the great works of Western Civilization are going to be lost as we scan books digitally and the paper, softer than the parchement used by the ancients, crumbles quickly into dust.
