If you keep the little finger on or behind the bridge, where its supposed to
be, there is no problem. Look at all the pictures. Read the instructions.

When I started baroque lute 30 years ago (!!), I had difficulty at
first, but I learned to accommodate the stretches. On 13 course
lute, I seldom rest the pinky on the soundboard, and when playing the
first 2 courses with my middle or ring finger (with the thumb on 12th
or 13th course), they (
Indeed. Martin Haycock made my 13c with 142 spacing after Hoffman, and it works
great for me; not only is it much easier to play treble and bass, but sweeps
and French fingerings in particular are much, much easier. Mind, I do have very
small hands.

That's getting on the wide side, Sterling. Would you have a problem with Bar 4
of L'Infidele? I agree that close spacing is difficult. I don't know how people
can play with a string band of less than 148, but they do. People find a way.

The bridge spacing I use is 157mm and is based on a large Edlinger.
Whenever I play a lute with a spacing much smaller than this, I find it
very difficult to play.

Is there a notable difference between the London and Dresden scores in how

I see the London ms as what we might call 'Early Weiss' - 11c, 12c and 13c bass
rider lutes, dramatic harmony, shorter dance movements, fingered bass notes on
low courses - and Dresden as 'Late We

Rob,
I'll second the lifting of the pinky off the soundboard. If you watch some

I can play the 13th and 1st courses simultaneously without too much of a
problem. I think the problem is having the index also on the 5th. Like Martin,
I play closer to the bridge when the extremes are called for, and by and large
I think I will manage it, but it isn't easy.
Interesting that t
The Dresden Ms version has that bass note up an octave. Nevertheless, it isn't
the only example in Weiss of playing notes on the 1st and 13th course
simultaneously (and if you travel further in time, Hagen and Falckenhagen)

Hi Rob,
I have no knowledge of the source of this suite. Do you know if it is
in Weiss's own hand?
I'm opening myself up to brickbats here, but it is usual for classical
guitarists to make slight alterations to the pieces they play, to suit
their own physical characteristics and s
