=== Brief History ===

~~The May 2019 paper, the original announcement of the invention (16 page pdf).~~

The Kite guitar was invented in April 2019 by Kite Giedraitis. He was directly inspired by Matthew Autry's experiments with [[Skip-fretting|skip-frettings]]. Matthew explored large edos like 72 and 130, but never explored 41. Others had previously come close to the Kite guitar, but either didn't use 41-edo, or had unequally spaced frets. See Graham Breed's [[Magic Guitar]] and Mason Green's [[Devadoot]] guitar.

=== Other 41-equal Instruments ===

The term "Kite" as in Kite guitar, Kite keyboard, Kite trumpet, etc., refers to [[Skip fretting|skipping]] every other step of 41-edo, so that adjacent notes are 2\41 apart, and notes 1\41 away are less accessible. Thus Kite guitar is short for Kite-fretted guitar, Kite keyboard is short for Kite-keyed keyboard, etc.
