[BAROQUE-LUTE] resting rt hand pinky

[Richard Brook]

Any thoughts on whether it’s OK not to rest rt. hand pinky on Baroque lute 
soundboard. It’s always been a strain for me, and I don’t think everyone does 
it.
I have a 13 course instrument.

Related question. What about putting a little block in front of the pinky side 
of the bridge to rest pinky on, or alternatively some kind of thimble
to lengthen pinky without messing up soundboard. May have to be invented.

Thanks
Dick Brook

[BAROQUE-LUTE] baroque lute scales

[Richard Brook]

Hi all

A few years ago Bob Barto gave out some scales for baroque lute. I used them 
religiously, and now seemed to have misplaced them.

Reconstructing them would be instructive, but I wonder if anybody has them for 
copying.

Thanks much
