Here is a photo of fret placements for different intonations on a mountain dulcimer fretboard. It is from Bobby Ratliff over at TTMD.

Hi kids, sorry to bother everybody. I'm still working on my education here. My question this time is it has to do with equal intonation versus just intonation. If I understand this whole thing right, most modern dulcimers are set up for Equal intonation (Temperament) . Is that right?

And the difference has to do with where the Frets are placed?  confusey shrugger

Oh before I forget Happy Halloween (Samhain)
