Except by Gerle (1532)

And Mersenne (1636)
And anyone who read their books and followed their instructions
And anyone who played with wire-strung instruments with
unequally-tempered fixed frets.
Or unequally tempered keyboard instruments or wind or string players
who played in unequal temperament.
