The ones that got away are always better! (Not the most grammatically-correct sentence I've ever written!). You seemed to relax into it more before the end. It didn't sound like you were on rhythmic autopilot, which it often does when one is experimenting with inegales. Keep up the good work.

Difficult choices; volume is the number one issue in performance. Archlute in A is nice, I always add chords since some of Handel's lute parts are figured. Octave up in places that are drowned out if you must.. Archlute is G is OK Theorbo if you play the high bits solo and chord up the rest,

All very nicely played and recorded, but what an excellent idea to give us the two 'French' tabalatures in parallel and separately. I think a number of us will be trying these two variants, under the guidance of you model playing. I must get a wifi link to be able to transport my computer.

Has anybody tried the nylgut called NGE? I'm thinking about using it on the 5th course or maybe even on the 6th, but as they are much thicker than the type D which I normally use, I'm afraid they might sound too tuby and perhaps not tune because de octave will be much thinner in comparison.
