Greetings all,

Ok, ol' Ed is going to ask one of them questions that sometimes makes
people roll their eyes....... but how can a fretless instrument be
specifically built for 19tet?. Or, high-board> how is a fretless instrument designated in any particular
temperament at all. (these things have different length strings?)

I have been busy defending the use of meantone for Cage's 4'33", and a
lot of people think I should listen to it more carefully than I have.
Hope everybody has a good fresh grip on this new slippery baby of a New
Year, and may we all see growing numbers of wide-eyed students and audiences
finding new beauty in the
"sounds outside twelve-ET", (SOTET).
Regards to all,
Ed Foote
