In Depth Articles on Intonation, Scales and Tuning

Posted by admin on August 22nd, 2010

Check out this link my luthier buddy Sean emailed me.   I too find that intonation is the one issue that I get the most questions about and that people have the least understanding.   These articles may be a little more in depth than most people care to read, but hey, you asked the question…well, maybe you didn’t. 

This also leads to a discussion about the Buzz Feiten Tuning method, but that is for another day.
