The ever-arising question in microtonal music, how to play it on instruments designed for 12edo, has a relatively simple answer in the case of 24edo: use two standard instruments tuned a quartertone apart.

Guitars with 24 frets per octave are also an option and some guitar makers, such as Ron Sword's [http://metatonalmusic.com Metatonal Music], can make custom instruments and perform re-fretting, with an example below: | Guitars with 24 frets per octave are also an option and some guitar makers, such as Ron Sword's [http://metatonalmusic.com Metatonal Music], can make custom instruments and perform re-fretting, with an example below: | ||

A very small number of quarter-tone pianos have been built — here are a couple of videos of these instruments being tested/played experimentally (to demonstrate their capabilities rather than to play specific compositions that would qualify for the 24edo Music section): | A very small number of quarter-tone pianos have been built — here are a couple of videos of these instruments being tested/played experimentally (to demonstrate their capabilities rather than to play specific compositions that would qualify for the 24edo Music section): | ||

24edo can also be played on the Lumatone, with better ergonomics than the quarter-tone pianos noted above: see [[Lumatone mapping for 24edo]] | 24edo can also be played on the Lumatone, with better ergonomics than the quarter-tone pianos noted above: see [[Lumatone mapping for 24edo]] | ||
