Why do the instructions in the article and the web site give electronic-tuning values of cents, and so on?
This bit of math is only to accommodate those who habitually tune with electronic devices. I do not do so myself! The whole harpsichord can be done quickly and accurately (15 minutes with practice) by ear, with no electronics whatsoever. See the “twang” instructions or the better geometric instructions. To learn these procedures of careful and accurate adjustment at an instrument, turn the machines off and learn how to listen closely for interval quality, testing 5ths and 4ths! (I’m sorry if this sounds crass or off-putting, but Bach obviously did not have any battery-driven device or computer, and it’s not necessary…. I don’t believe it’s helpful even to think in cents anymore, myself.
