Dear collected wisdom
I'm looking for the address (mail or electronic) of Peter Rea and
Margret Caley. They live somewhere in Australia and made experiments
with silk strings with great success (citation from a mail of Ian
Watchorn). I can't find more informations on an actual address and
made the remark that not all lute songs are for one to four voices. Point
taken; a few have a fifth part. Dowland's 'Welcome Black Night' comes to
mind.
Cleare or Coudie, also second book.

Monica,
I play these with two fingers (index followed by middle) in one up stroke but
slightly seperating the two. One could use thumb and finger rather than
two fingers but I feel this is a bit heavy for a light up stroke.

Dear David (van Oiijen),
I've only just got around to reading your article and it is excellent!
I'm copying this to David Hill as well, as he and I have sat through
many a Bob Spencer masterclass and I really think Bob was one of the few
people who took both the historical evidence and the
Dear lutists
Another very basic question about Meantone tuning. As we have taken
on board the idea that the 'old ones' first tuned the top string to
breaking point and then tuned up the other strings in relation to
that (I know this is probably not necessarily true, in particular for

Forget the details.
If you're happy with your top string a little lower than whatever (i.e. just
below breaking point), but some table (i. e. mine) says that for some
particular flavour
of some particular temperament (i.e. 1/6 meantone) your top string should be
a little higher
Thanks David
I will set up my tuner for 6th comma on a root of A, this afternoon,
and then go ahead.
I am only want to try out the lute so I really dont care about being
precise, so long as I do no
damage and it sounds more or less in tune.
Best wishes

Three cheers! Good luck with your new lute, Anthony. One day we will hear
it. Until then, how about some pictures on the lute network site?

You can move with FireFox, also, by means of the arrow-key, or up- /
down-keys, respectively, on that very well-done page.

I've been very happy with them on my Asian instruments (san xian, dan nguyet),
but haven't yet tried them on early European instruments.
Yes - in the advance settings you can enter a reference pitch, choose
from a range of historical temperaments, select gut or nylon, and
give a virtual mensur. It also tunes your lute and pre-stretches any
new strings in your cupboard. :-)

Dear Timo and Rob
I don't have that much experience with the sound of gut strung 11c
lutes, but this one seems very sweet in the top and mid, no hint of
woodyness, which you some times have with a new lute in that area.
I have only just tuned it up, and probably not in the ideal 6th
comma,

Dear Mathias,
Funny you should produce this chart. I did one of my own earlier today,
much simpler, but with the same conclusion. I ignored the 7th to 11th
courses, which present less of a problem, because they are usually
played open. This was my chart for the first three courses of a baroque

Before getting too despondent about regularity and metronomes, bear in mind
that the human pulse varies with respiration, and that music also has to
breathe through phrasing. In fact playing even quite simple pieces are best
when phrased with a sense of breathing as if to sing the next phrase thus
Bravo, at last someone said it. Absolutely agree! The problem is that so
many people want to play like a metronome

Well, not exactly, IMHO. It's good, as Nick and Jaroslaw have said, to
play with feeling and varying tempo when performing. It's also good to
know when and why you're doing it, which is where a metronome, online or
hung from the ceiling, can be of use. I've played for dancers a fair
amount,

I already used it as a nut for a bano and a guitar. Also as inlay material
