About the Quarter Comma Meantone Guitar


There is so much to say here, but much of it will have to wait until I feel better. The wait is over, at least more some more information. Here is another page on meantone..

Pictured is a Yamaha C40II classical guitar with a custom fretboard in quarter comma meantone temperament. I removed the stock fretboard. A new fretboard was machined to my specs by Birkonium CNC Services I installed the frets and reglued the fretboard.
