I have never tried. Let us know if it works for you. > I'm in a very noisy environment sometimes The ST-122 can be confuesd by ambient noise like computer fans. I use a clip on mic if I'm in an orchestra, or the singer copies the notes I try to tune (you ever noticed that: play a note, to tune that is, and singers invariably start to sing that note, oblvious of any tuning efforts). > First, With what to make the Tastino?

I'm too limited for double frets, they confuse me. Stephen Stubbs had little grooves in his theorbo to slide wooden tastini in. Another friend uses little ebony wedges, a little wider than a pair of strings, he slides under the real frets. Experiemnt with somethng that works for you, doesn't buzz, is adjustable, etc. Masking tape and fret gut is all right for starters. > Second, What about the frets on the lute body? there are three. I guess > there is some trick with that... No trick, just out of tune playing. But you won't need these often in the repertoire you'll be using non ET for, and if so perhaps just on the first course in single notes. Push and bend.
