Mine is too short, so I don't, ever. It is not critical, as long as it is relaxed. Curled pinky is an anatomical hazard. RT On 3/14/2016 5:28 PM, Richard Brook wrote: 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,

Hi Dick, I know of no textual source that does not mention resting the pinky on the soundboard. A raised pinky is however quite frequently seen in iconography. Chris [1]Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Monday, March 14, 2016, 5:30 PM, Richard Brook

[BAROQUE-LUTE] resting rt hand pinky

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

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: resting rt hand pinky

Rest it on the bridge. That works relatively well and, with gut strings, is good for the sound. David -Original Message- From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] On Behalf Of Richard Brook Sent: Monday, March 14, 2016 2:28 PM To: baroque-lute@cs.dartmouth.edu
