Miguel estimates his method should cost somewhere around 40 € to 50 €. I think that sounds about right, if you look at the Damiani edition. No guarantee of course. Anthony Le 24 févr. 08 à 22:43, Anthony Hind a écrit : Rob and Stephen About Miguel Serdoura's lute method, Miguel doe not

I was very interested in the central body of Anthony's contribution - my experience is exactly the same. I first took up the lute in 1978 and gave it up, to all intents and purposes, in 1982 because my professional duties increased to the point where I simply could not find the time to

Stephen I have sent you a more detailed message on this topic with photographs of lutes that I can't include in my messages to all, as they would just be filtered out. Nevertheless, as I have just checked and seen that you are using a 13c lute (if it is is not a swanneck), perhaps you

Anthony, I usually have to do quite a few takes before I can get one that doesn't have any gross mistakes in it. One thing that helps me is to think that if I make a mistake on this take, I can just erase it and do another. That seems to take some of the pressure off. I have only played in

Stephen, You mentioned books - do you have the baroque lute tutor by Satoh and the one by Miguel Serdoura, 'Collection Le Secret Des Muses'? The latter has lots of exercises and easy pieces. I have the French version which was published by the French Lute Society, but I believe it has been

Well done Stephen. I think the performance is better than the last recording, although that wasn't bad at all. Another nice piece and a nice performance. What more could anyone ask for? Keep up the good work. I'm off to listen to it again... Rob -- To get on or off this list see list
