Urbana-Champaign demonstrates a cheap DIY approach to modifying a guitar
(or any fretted string instrument) to play in alternative tunings
systems. He will present & perform on his two successful microtonal
refrets: a 22-tone acoustic guitar and a harmonic lap dulcimer. No
experience in carpentry or microtunings is necessary, just an
experimental desire.</span></font><br><br>You're invited to bring something that you want defretted, & we can defret it on th spot! Refretting will take a little longer, but I can get you started....<br>You're also invited to donate a currently-fretted instrument to Oddmusic for further refretting experiments! Your donation will get refretted in the coming months to a microtonal scale & used to write microtonal compositions!<br><br>See you there perhaps,<br>Andrew<br></div>
