What fret is where half the string length is? E.g if the string length was 64cms, what fret would be 32cms from nut/bridge? I would think the 12th, since it must be where the octave is?! B. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

If you have to tie that one there is perhaps a problem with your lute ;-) What fret is where half the string length is? E.g if the string length was 64cms, what fret would be 32cms from nut/bridge?

Actually, the 12 fret (octave) won't be exactly half way. When you press the string down it increases in tension (and pitch). Hence, frets are placed slightly nearer to the nut in order to compensate.
