errata...
The santur has a 3 and a half octave range, I just went back and checked it.
Wishful thinking, that extra half octave.
If you like the tuning scheme of the Jankowski, I/we highly recommend it,
we're quite happy with the sound of it, despite the smaller range (if it
only went down another whole step to the low C for all those D tunes...).
