Question: history of HP 41c tones
Does anyone know the thought process behind the HP 41 team's choice of the built-in tone frequencies? It has often seemed so odd to me.

Why not choose frequencies that were actual musical note frequencies for a bit more than an octave? Is the bender not able to drive those? Seems as if that would have made using them much "easier" for music.

Any ideas ?
