While playing around with a new feature in Rockbox (a feature I helped 
somewhat in the development - called "time stretching" - ie, playing a 
track back at a speed that was different than the original speed without 
adjusting pitch - and in the final implementation, being able to adjust 
the pitch without adjusting the speed of playback), I happened across the 
following article:

http://home.earthlink.net/~douglaspage/id86.html

I was looking for some sort of a guide to adjust the playback of some 
Bach violin solos (Partida #4) to get a sound that was closer to what the 
instrument would've been tuned to in Bach's day.

The last section of the paper was the relevant information - and some 
history that none of my music history classes really touched upon other 
than to say "tuning was traditionally flat compared to modern tuning".
