The upper part of the pipe is lost, but if one assumes its length to have been such that the holes T and IV sounded notes a fourth apart, one finds that the intervals I-T and IV-V both come out at very close to a tone, 196 and 194 cents respectively. The fourth T-IV is made up of intervals of 171, 155, and 172 cents (from top to bottom). |
