"Here's the "factory" intonation for a Special 20 (and Marine Band):

blow +00 -10 +01 +00 -10 +01 +00 -10 +01 +00
hole 001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 009 010
draw +02 +01 -11 +02 -12 +03 -11 +02 -12 +03

These values are all in cents from the reference pitch, which is 
probably around A=442 (8 cents sharp) or A=443 (12 cents sharp).  
Notice that the octaves are tuned identically, both on the blow side 
and the draw side."  


Tim,
In regard to the cents, would you explain a bit further... how is a cent calculated in the A4XX tuning scheme?  Meaning, if A442 = +08, what does +02 equal? etc.  Also, does A440 always = +00?

Thanks.

Jim.
