I have decided to try "Just" tuning first, still few questions
remains. lets go back to the tuner:
I'm in a very noisy environment sometimes (there's a kindergarden few
steps from here...), how i can see visually if I'm tuned? (ST-122 just
to remind) that's it, then i'm fixed (already have set it up manually
for my lute)
Now back to the temperament, I'm going to try more then one. I might
even try dowland's temperament.
First, With what to make the Tastino? I do not want it to be
permanent. tape is good, but how large should i make it? long like a
fret? or smaller like... mother of pearl in my SG's neck? (like the
picture one of the David's brought here), how thick, how long, etc...
please remember, this is my first attempt with other temperaments.
Second, What about the frets on the lute body? there are three. I
guess there is some trick with that...
Before I touch the lute, i want to know much more on the technicality,
I don't want to cause damage.
Thanks again
Omer
b.h.w.
I Finally worked out the LSA file, using Excel 2008 for Mac

I assume this is what I know as 'masking-tape'. Can you elaborate
how you
use it on a lute?
See the picture on on this page:

It can be difficult to remove after a few months, but I don't
envisage anyone making a temporary tuning last that long!
On the contrary, some of my lutes are permanently in some form of MT,
so the bits of fret-with-masking-tape only get removed for jobs
requiring ET. So far no sticky fingerboards. A friend used the
'invisible' scotch tape. Looked better, perhaps, but it was a serious
pain to remove.
