I only have a vague idea about temperaments and I have a Korg OT-120 and I'd like to try some out. With ET it's just a matter of setting the thing to 440 (or whatever) but with non-ET I don't know what to do.

Do you have to define the fundamental note from which the non-ET scale starts? I have a simple psaltery and a gittern. The psaltery's lowest note is G below middle C but perhaps it would be better to think of the C as the main note (which goes down to G and upwards from C). I have no idea what to do with the tuner.

The gittern is different again. I know that modern-day lute players move some of the frets (second and fourth I think) . But what would they do using a tuner?

Any ideas  or help would be much appreciated.

Stuart
