Projections libérantes and L’école-atelier Lutherie-Guitare Bruand have joined forces to carry out an unusual project: redesigning the positioning of the frets of a classical guitar.
The new positioning of the frets makes it possible to obtain natural pitches, i.e. pitches that are in proportions of whole numbers of frequencies, rather than corresponding to the division of the octave into twelve equal parts, as prescribed by the conventional system.
Compared to conventional harmony, the consonances of natural harmony are softer, but its dissonances are also rougher. In other words, it is a territory to explore.
Try it out! The Just Intonation guitar is now available to everyone!
