I once wrote a DIY guide to setting your lute in Pythagorean temperament. It might be of help: [1]http://home.kpn.nl/ooije006/david/writings/pythagoras_f.html David

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 a tuner? Any ideas A or help would be much appreciated. Stuart --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active.
