Hi Stewart et al., I just looked through the literature on the instrument, both Segerman's and Abbott's FoMRHI article and Darryl Martin's writings, and I did not find any reference to what temperament is suggested by the fretting. The measurements for each fret location are included in Darryl's technical drawing, but I have not compared them myself.
Anybody willing to take on the task? -Andrew At 05:46 AM 11/22/2007, Stewart McCoy wrote: >Dear Andrew, > >I see from one of the pictures that the space between the 1st and 2nd frets >is noticeably wider than the space between the 2nd and 3rd frets.
