    When you say fret scanning, would this be optical, ultrasonic, or something akin to the divided frets of Steve Chicks designs?
The reason I ask is that those divided frets never felt right under the fingers. You just end up altering your technique to fit the instrument, which is really the same issue as pitch to MIDI.  #yiv8988203125 #yiv8988203125 -- #yiv8988203125ygrp-mkp {border:1px solid
