[LUTE] Re: Tied frets

Hi Benjamin, Why not shorten the neck extension? In that case you would not have to worry about the number of frets and the resulting decrease (maybe op to 10 cm. of diapason for the base strings) would possibly not make that much of a difference acoustically. Greetings, Lex van Sante Op 10

Bob, it sounds as though it combines the best of the expensive Peterson strobe and the temperaments of cleartune, but might it be a little cluttered? The various displays are on different views. You can show 1 view on the screen or two views side by side. The latter is slightly crowded on
