The string-guage section isn't clear about electric vs acoustic steel strings or about steel vs nylon. It would be ideal to separate the strings section and clarify this stuff.--[[User:Wolftune|Wolftune]] ([[User talk:Wolftune|talk]]) 20:09, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Why "41-tET" when that links to /41edo ? Wouldn't it be better to stick to "41EDO"?--[[User:Wolftune|Wolftune]] ([[User talk:Wolftune|talk]]) 01:15, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

I'm trying to promote this guitar to non-microtonalists who don't know the "edo" acronym. I send them a link to this page. The first 3 paragraphs on this page are carefully written to avoid specialized lingo. That's why I define prime limit here. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 07:31, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

:: I don't think any non-microtonalists have ever heard of "tET". I support not having extra jargon, but sticking to EDO over tET isn't more jargon.--[[User:Wolftune|Wolftune]] ([[User talk:Wolftune|talk]]) 23:10, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament "In classical music and Western music in general, the most common tuning system since the 18th century has been twelve-tone equal temperament (also known as 12 equal temperament, 12-TET or 12-ET)". Both 12-et and 12-et tuning get far more hits in google than 12-edo or 12-edo tuning. Same for 41-et vs. 41-edo.

I personally prefer EDO over ET, and certainly wouldn't call either term jargon. But EDO is definitely less widely used. I understand the benefits of standardizing the appearance of the xenwiki pages. How about if I change it to "41-ET (aka 41-edo)"? --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 05:05, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

What about "The Kite fretting" as a generic rather than "guitar or x y z fretted instrument"?--[[User:Wolftune|Wolftune]] ([[User talk:Wolftune|talk]]) 01:22, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

A good idea in general, but this particular page has tabs that are very guitar-oriented. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 07:31, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
