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. | The Kite guitar was invented in April 2019 by Kite Giedraitis.
