I think POD is usually in 1/4 comma meantone. IIRC, the lutes he's played at LSA all have tastini, and the fret spacing looks like 1/4 comma (it's too irregular for 1/6 comma, anyway).

Often 1/6 comma MT. Oh dear, cannot find the references now. Of hand: Matthew Wadsworth (14 Silver Strings and the Johnson CD): 1/6 comma MT La Milanoyse by Charles-Edouard Fantin has a picture of visible tastini. Looked like 1/4 comma MT to me. On several CDs we can hear some sort of non-ET in a trade-off: some beautiful thirds and some rather out of tune chords. ;-) When the CDs with mention of temperament used come to mind, I'll let you know.
