Cris Forster, who designs and builds beautifully crafted acoustic
instruments tuned to 13-limit JI, etc. has placed pictures of his
remarkable instruments, his theoretical writings, etc. on the web at

Indeed, thanks John. Cris had just written me as you posted the above message, and I urge anyone on the list involved in acoustic instruments (heck, *anyone*) to take a look. I know Cris' work first-hand, having worked with him a number of years ago. Many people have made microtonal instruments; few, if any, have made them better or more beautifully. They really are remarkable!

Cheers,
Jon

Well, yeah, but don't be discouraged: Cris has been at this a long, long time and has really honed those instruments over a lot of years. But they are, without a doubt, incredible works of both art and craft.
