The simplest example allows someone with an ordinary 12-edo guitar to tune to 24-edo, for instance by tuning 450 cents between every pair of adjacent strings. The even strings will in this case have half the notes, and the odd strings will have the other half. | The simplest example allows someone with an ordinary 12-edo guitar to tune to 24-edo, for instance by tuning 450 cents between every pair of adjacent strings.

Because the frets on a fretted instrument get closer together toward the bridge - at the first octave they are twice as dense, and at the second octave, four times -- it could be reasonable to include all the frets near the nut, and then switch to a skip-fretting system somewhere for the high notes. To this author's knowledge a partially skip-fretted instrument has not yet been made. | |||
