Hi Don,

I'm impressed with your excellent sense of pitch! And I do believe you have it.

Your theory about the harmonics seems reasonable. I wonder, though, why the creators of the synthesized instruments did not take that issue into account, and skew the harmonics accordingly.

This problem will all be history in not many years, when we will all be using real sampled instrument sounds, such as those of the GPO library, rather than using synthesized sounds, except for intentionally synthesized instruments.
