Nothing as sophisticated as tastini - just matchsticks wedged under the frets (at the bass side of the neck) to tighten them. Don't we all do it?

I presume you are meaning "tastini"? see http://home.planet.nl/~ooije006/david/writings/meantone_f.html but are they playing in different temperaments, as your previous mail suggests?

Apologies again - URL is very long so heres a short version: [1][1]http://tinyurl.com/7fg8lvz As well as the varied tempering - look out for the matchsticks wedged under the frets of some of these viols.
