Dear Manolo: You mentioned the first 'Ancient Airs Dances' suite by Respighi: The second and third suites contain music from Besard's Thesaurus Harmonicus (1603), as well as one from his Novus Partus (1617). These are all available - with Besard's many original errors corrected

Dear lutelisters, I was listening to the 1st Suite by Respighi (Antiche Arie e Danze), and became curious: the first and second pieces are by Molinaro and V. Galilei, and the 3rd and 4th are Anon. Which pieces exactly are the originals used by Respighi? Where are they available (I mean the

Dear Roman, perhaps my online string calculator is of some help there: Just select pitch, length of the strings and diapasons and your instrument and it will calculate an entire set. You can adjust tension and length of each string to match your instrument. You can find it at:

Dear Roman, well, a jauch baroque lute would indeed be the most complicated instrument to use with that programm... However, using more than one diapason length for the initial calculation would make it more confusing for everyone without a jauch baroque lute or english theorbo, so i guess

I had mine 8 + 6. For F# and G#, indeed, very usefull when playing continuo. But after changing to gut I was not satisfied with 7 and 8 (I know: too small a theorbo in the first place, but that has its advantages, too). So had 7 + 7 for a while and then 6 + 8. Sound is so much better now.
