Abstract
The 16 strings of the Burmese horizontal, arched harp are tuned in pentatonic octaves over a range of two-and-a-half octaves. A brief description of the harp, its history, and examples of its classical music will precede a discussion of the results of pitch measurements of harp tones recorded in Mandalay in the mid-20th century of the late Muriel C. Williamson [The Burmese Harp (Southeast Asia Press, DeKalb, IL, 2000)]. Prior to about 1960, the seven-tone Burmese harp scale could be accurately described by the notes CDE*( E ) F G A *( A ) B*, where the starred notes were about a quarter tone (50 cents) lower than the corresponding Western notes. The pitches of the notes E* and A* could be varied when they occurred as stopped tones of the harp. The distinctive Burmese notes became Western within a few decades. The remarkably precise tunings of master harpists sometimes showed octaves stretched by about 15 cents. Previous measurements of Burmese fixed-pitch instruments show them to have had somewhat tempered version of the harp scale. a)Present address: 1189 Pond Cypress Drive, Virginia Beach, VA 23455.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
