On the Location of the Frets on the Guitar
I. J. Schoenberg · American Mathematical Monthly · 1976
In [1] J. M. Barbour presented an ingenious discussion of an approximate construction of the location of the frets on a guitar for the so-called equpl temperament due to the Swedish musicologist D. P. Strahle (1743). The present author was the referee of Barbour's paper [1] and contributed two short footnotes on page 7 of [1]. The purpose of the present note is to present Barbour's analysis in the light of these footnotes.
