The construction of a string instrument with sliding frets
Kotouček, Michal ; Buzzi, MgA Mario (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis describes the design and construction of a string instrument with movable frets and the creation of a computer program for calculating fret positions for various tuning systems. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with different types of tuning systems and describes the method of deriving several types of tunings, from common to exotic and experimental ones. The practical part describes the procedure of manufacture of the instrument, the principle of calculating fret positions and testing the tuning accuracy of the instrument.

Authors´ approach to application of microtonality
Chudovský, Daniel ; KURZ, Ivan (advisor) ; RIEDLBAUCH, Václav (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on works of different composers across the 20th century in the field of microtonal and micro-interval music. The aim of this thesis is to point out other solutions of this technique based on analysis of composition approaches of Alois Hába and his contemporaries. Systems of tuning relating the most convincingly to the application of micro-intervals into the melodic-harmonic process of music composition are also discussed in this paper. The core of the thesis is an author's explanation of the so called central reapplication based on a specific approach to the use of micro-intervals. The thesis contains an analytical view of two compositions of its author where central reapplication is utilized as one of the possible approaches to implementing micro-intervals into music compositions. The aim here is to define two different ways of thinking about this tone set and to bring at least a partial recontextualization in viewing of micro-interval music.
