Can I use conventional instruments to play LucyTuning?
A. It depends upon which instruments you wish to play. a) For fretted instruments you will need to move or replace all frets except the octaves, and retune the open strings. For details on refretting instruments b) For keyboard instruments, you will need to retune all notes except the A’s, and decide whether each of the notes used are sharp or the adjacent flat. Using many MIDI instruments, this may be achieved in software. For details on LucyTuning and MIDI c) All other instruments can play LucyTuning by retuning and subtle fingering and/or embouchure adjustments.
