Musical notes! "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
Hi; I was wondering if anyone there knew the actual musical notes to the westminster and bim bam tones. I wanted to try and tune some tone blocks for future projects.
Thanks,
Greg

I have no idea if this is correct but you might look at this link;

I have been wondering if I can tune the rods to be more accurate. I picked up a digital tuning device from Radio Shack some time ago for making a Native American flute. Now I want to use it on some rods to see if I can carefully cut them to the exact length.
Thanks Tom for the scales URL. I believe you are correct, and I will use that to start the tuning. It may be another month before I get to it though.
