[VIHUELA] Re: Temperaments & Fretting on Early Guitars

[David van Ooijen]

   I use 1/4-comma MT on my B-guitar when needed. High first fret with
   tastini (singular?) for g# on 3rd string (E-major chord!).

     Hi everyone!
     I'm thinking about exploring meantone on my renaissance and baroque
     guitars. At the moment they are in equal temperament, but I usually
     have my renaissance lute in 1/4 comma meantone and my baroque
     archlute in 1/6 comma (unless I'm doing earlier music).
     I was wondering about meantone on the two guitars, but was wondering
     whether there was any historical evidence for the use of meantone on
     renaissance and baroque guitars. Also evidence for tastini on them
     would be helpful!
     I have that helpful calculator for frets in various temperaments,
     but can't find anything for early guitars. Should I simply place
     them by ear or use ClearTune for placing frets in the appropriate
     temperaments?
     Best,
     Edward C. Yong
