Last year I taught middle school kids in an after school program how to build
electric guitars. www.geocities.com/ubertar/kids
This year I'm in two high schools, and this time around, we'll start off with
movable frets and tune to 10 equal, and play in 5 equal (at least to start). I like 5 tet
because the fingering is really easy (just 1,3 1,3 all the way up), it sounds good and there
are some nice sounding chords as well. We're going to make the amps too, and some
electric percussion with piezo transducers.

I'm really psyched to hear what these kids will come up with. I'm hoping to have
them record a cd by the end of the school year.

I made a series of electric guitars recently that are each tuned to a different
equal tuning. I'm planning on recording a cd featuring them but have to finish another cd
first as well as other projects, but hopefully I'll get to that soon.

I made my first microtonal guitar in 1992, with movable "gut" frets, but later made it
fretless. I put a steel fingerboard on it and intended to make magnetic frets, but got
caught up in other projects and never got around to it.
