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).
