Re: 14 course German theorbo? Three peg boxes?
I can only second Sterling's opinion. This lute has a wonderful darkish timbre and carries/projects quite remarkably. I have heard both his old lute (which may have lost a bit of its original power over the years) and the brand-new Tomlinson lute in comparison and the new lute sounds quite convincing. I am very eager to listen to the records to come. g On 06.01.2004, at 06:54, sterling price wrote: In Vancouver I had a chance to play Bobs brand new Yauch 13c made by Grant Tomlinson.

Yes. The page says why. RT Interesting. Is there any advantage in tuning this instrument over a swan neck? M.

I have not seen up to now a piece in the italian baroque which uses a 15th ch. - many players even tune their 14th course at f-sharp (for easier continuo). Picinnini also uses the 14th course at times, but it looks to me as if he is sometimes indicating something other than F. Did they use re-entrant tuning on those bass courses? There is an indication after Gagliarda IX on pp.72-73 in Libro Primo, Bologna 1623 that the 14th course should be tuned to what looks like C#. Seems very unusual... David Rastall - Do you Yahoo!?
