[BAROQUE-LUTE] Silvius Leopold Weiss: The Silesian Master of Lute

2008-05-09 Thread Edward Martin
I noticed on Amazon what appears to be a new lute recording by Jakob Lindberg, Silvius Leopold Weiss: The Silesian Master of Lute. I am wondering if it is a reprint of his other Weiss record recorded on his original lute, or if it is new. Amazon does not say what is on the record. Does

No, it seems to be a new one, as there is a new critical review of it, in the French lute society magazine. The review is very positive. Anthony Le 9 mai 08 à 15:06, Edward Martin a écrit : I noticed on Amazon what appears to be a new lute recording by Jakob Lindberg, Silvius Leopold Weiss:

I suspect you're using single gut frets: try the (historically preferred) double frets. The first fret takes most of the wear whilst the second provides a much longer lasting cut-off point. MH --- On Thu, 8/5/08, Bruno Correia [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Bruno Correia [EMAIL

I think I need more experience in order to double fret it properly. Meanwhile I was wondering about the diameters, for example: 1 mm, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7 and following through with the last? Does anybody do it differently? Regards. 2008/5/9 Ed Durbrow [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On May 9, 2008, at 4:14

Depending on the lute size (I fret larger lutes with slightly thicker frets), I typically start with around .90mm for 1st fret diminishing to around 60 at 9th. The advantage of well graduated frets is, of course, that a lute can be set 'fine' so that the distance required to depress a string

Dear Bruno: Your question is a good one but I think fret diameters differ widely from one instrument to another. Variations in the height of the nut, straightness of the fingerboard, and amount of flex of the 'soundboard' of your lute, due to temperature and humidity, will affect fret

Daniel, these general rules can only be applied for single note runs, which are not normally a problem. When playing more than one voice (chords), the fingering depends on what is before and after the chord. The best solution, obviously, is a teacher. It might however be difficult to
