[LUTE] A different 6 course question

2006-02-20 Thread corun
Dear All, I've been away all weekend and have just caught up on the six course discussion. Since we're on this topic I'd like to ask if anyone prefers a six course with a wider neck. I have one of Dan Larson's Ricercare six course lutes. It's a lovely instrument with good sound and response.

Hello Luca, on the baroque list I sent my answer to Mathias. I wanted to post it also on the lute list, but it seems as if the message hasn't come through (possibly because cross-posting isn't allowed). So here again: the manuscript is in the meantime in the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris,

Dear Mathias and CW, Madame Thibault had another Weiss manuscript, Fantaisies et Preludes composees par Mr. Weiss a Rome. Did it also go to the Bibliotheque national in Paris? If so, what is the call number? I cannot find it in either the on-line or printed Meier Sources manuscrits en

Either we accept Jon Banks' arguments (as I do), and are happy to refer to these pieces as music for lute trio or lute consort, or we can opt for Michal's more cautious playable on lutes. Either way, the music is there to be enjoyed by us all, and as Sean says, it is great fun. Best wishes,

But what would the large bass instruments have been like? Do any survive from this period? None from the (late) fifteenth-century. However, as far as I know, surviving Maler lutes are bass instruments, the earliest from 1520s (? Someone correct me if I'm wrong). M To get on or off this

Dear Arthur, as far as I know this manuscript is also in the Bibliotheque national in Paris. It seems to have no number - don't ask me what that means, I have it probably from the Weiss edition: F-Pn Ms. o. Sig (IX) It is a late manuscript, though it seems to have some early fantasias by Weiss

Dear Stuart, From our modest first forays into reading this rep. I've found that different size lutes help in the following ways: a) They put the 'voice range' of the line in the center of the lute fingerboard. When we consider that they probably didn't have roped or great strings for the

My bass lute is only 68cm in string length. I put beefier strings on it (ie, 6th course = ~1.62mm gut), tune it to D and it works fine. Btw, a 6c A-lute is very nice but if you really want to enjoy a sustaining voice, go long. Sean On Feb 20, 2006, at 7:29 PM, Daniel F Heiman wrote: The
