Dear Ed, Martin, Daivid, Ariel, and all
That was very much what I tried to say to Ariel, a little while ago.
Thanks for being so much clearer than I was, Ed.
May I tell you an anecdote, I don't really know how relevant this
might be for lute playing, however,
One of my friends,
I can only give you an opinion understanding that I am not a Tennis player.
You are to a certain extent comparing apples and oranges. Gut for musical
instrument strings imparts a better tamber to the sound of the Lute, giving
it warm over-tones that nylon can not.
However; nylon strings are
Dear Luters,
I'm trying to find out more about transitional tunings for the 10-
course. I see that the Board Lute Book shows Harp-way, English
Gaultier's, or Mersenne Extraordinaire, Harp-way Flat and French

PS.
An old thread on this subject contained an important list of books
and manuscripts with pieces in this tuning.

Dear David,
Chicago Case 7.Q.5 and the Gehema-Ms. (once published in facsimile in Leipzig)

Um, what do you use for a lute strap? The button on the end has a pretty
narrow groove, so I'm not sure what to use. I assume you sling it around the
pegbox, aft of a row of pegs.

I usually put 2 small holes in the end of whatever I'm using for a

Polshing compound is simply a mild abrasive or paste,
It can be obtained at a hardware store or automotive store.
Baking soda is justly famous in this regard, as is toothpaste..

Dear Stephan,
These are good questions, and it is an age - old problem with gut
