ABSTRACT:
A fretted stringed musical instrument with a readily removable fingerboard to enable performance of musical compositions written in different tonal scales by removing a fingerboard having fret placement in accordance with one tonal scale, e.g. equal tempered scale, and installing another fingerboard having fret placement in accordance with a different tonal scale, e.g. just intonation scale.
Several alternate arrangements permit a given fingerboard to be quickly installed or removed without removing or slackening the strings so that fingerboards may be exchanged in the course of a concert to permit performance of musical pieces from several tonal systems on a single basic instrument.
