Cents are always the 1200th root of 2. So, Neil Haverstick, how do you tune your 34-tET guitar? Do you have a "Pythagorean" major third between the G and B strings, or do you have a "just" major third there and have the pseudocomma show up in one of the perfect fourths, or do you tune in all perfect fourths? Anyone know how Jon Catler tunes his JI guitars? Particularly his fretless one?
