For the pieces using the Db major chord could you not set the frets to
ET (or 1/6) and not finger the tastino?
Other than pieces that are technically impossible I personally like
1/6. And if you can get away with it, 1/4 can sound very nice once in
a while. Given his daring use of tone color and character I constantly
wonder if he wanted some of that dissonance though a disparity between
8ves might be stretching it.

A question for those who play Kapsperger lute pieces: what
temperament
fits best his music? I find 1/4 mesotonic quite good, but there are a
few spots that are not that sweet. I just started using a tastino on
the 1st fret and that creates some problems too. For example, when
there is a barre on the first position (Db major chord), the d flat
on
the 3rd course (4rth fret) is really out of tune...
Any advice is welcomed.
