[LUTE] Re: Meantone

[Roman Turovsky]

From: "Stewart McCoy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Throughout the present discussion I have tried to use the words equal
and unequal when referring to fret spacing, rather than keep talking
about meantone. All fretting systems on the lute, apart from equal, can
only be approximations to keyboard temperaments, and equal temperament

was not an option for keyboard instruments until more recent times.

It WAS an option to Frescobaldi. In fact a much desired option.
