>in the first place- all early fretted string instruments had moveable
tied gut fretts -some commercially available today still do--any midi
equiped guit can play any micro tonal sys and never have ta
familiarize yer self with a new neck while yer trying ta brain the new
tonal sys--3rd place -the dink is still only properly tuned in exactly
one key -again not a prob with a midi guit sys --examp-roland -any
guit synth 600 $ new + yer comp if yer using this net
