I see now. I missed the rare earth magnets part the first time. What is
a microtonal guitar? There are many pictures of microtonal guitars (and
other instruments) at
http://www-math.cudenver.edu/~jstarret/microinstrument.html and links to
much microtonal information at
http://www-math.cudenver.edu/~jstarret/microtone.html. The purpose of
this forum is to discuss music that is not in 12 equal steps per octave.
You may have been under the impression that the alternate tuning
discussed here was non-EADGBE. A common mistake, so I bid you welcome,
and I hope you find it interesting.
