Update on shape-note. I've emailed the convention and they gave me a web

way down the home page are two sample songs you can play to hear their sound
(and there is a lot of info on the Sacred Harp -
This should be on the regular lute list, as well as the baroque list.

of a major U.S. commercial publiaher, I understand.

Hello all,
I'm a relative newcomer to the world of luting and
this is my first venture into this absorbing forum.
My query is this;
I came to the lute, as I imagine most people do, from
the guitar and am loving it.
When playing the guitar I use a support known as an
'A' frame. It sticks on the
I've seen other players using a strap round the
shoulders, but don't see that this would stop the
thing turning in my lap due to the round back.
The only other thing that helps is to jam the thing
against a cigarette packet in my trouser pocket and
I'm planning to give up soon.

Hello Mark
My advice is to forget all about your disapproval concerns. If the
a-frame works for you - use it. My wife, who is an accomplished played of
many years, uses a Gitano to good effect. I have never felt the need to use
anything at all of the renaissance lute ( Larger lutes are a

In the US, you can buy in auto supply stores what is alleged to be

It wasn't. Some lutes have curved pegboxes, notably Dutch 12-course Lutes,

Quite right. I am sure if Billings could have secured trained singers,
he would have welcomed them with open arms. With Sacred Harp, the Music
and The Event are very different things. The music is just what the
printed page says it is, and you may do with it what you will. However

Every now and then I go and get myself a new rubber for window cleaning

Once again, the academic lute world shows how inept they are at doing
anything beyond studying what other people do naturally.
No, Howard is not quite right. He doesn't know what he's talking

precisely zero.

thank you roman -
do you think one style of peg box has a structural advantage over the
other or can the curvature of the swan's neck peg box be considered
simply as oriental embellishment?

Mathias,
I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about.
Can you be more specific (perhaps we don't have this
sort of thing in the U.S.?). This could also have a
VERY different and highly disturbing meaning in

Vance,
The suede leather suggestion I made also solves the problem of the left hand.
As the lute is supported both on the knees and the chest/stomach, it is
unable to move and stays in whatever position one wishes to have it, which means
that the left hand is in no way forced to support the

Just a side note on holding the Lute. There is much said about the right

will lose much of your range and motion in that hand because you

It has often been said that the only stupid question is the one
which never gets asked.
There is no such thing as disapproval in the lute world. There are
almost as many ways to hold the lute as there are lute players. You
need to find what is most comfortable for you, bearing in mind
Mark--
It took me many years to find a truly secure and comfortable way to hold my lute.
I'm on the tall side, and long in the torso, so I've usually had trouble supporting
the lute on a thigh and having my arms at a workable position. I used a footrest, but
it had to be rather high. A
