The gut frets dress the fingerboard of the lute. One could use, of course, all sorts of materials. I'm holding out for quantum frets, that change temperament when you look at them. But the gut frets are the best. I use gut strings for the frets, not fretgut, as they sound better to me. dt

Dear Andrew, I see from one of the pictures that the space between the 1st and 2nd frets is noticeably wider than the space between the 2nd and 3rd frets. I assume it is some kind of meantone. Am I right? If so, to what temperament do the frets approximate? Best wishes, Stewart McCoy.
