[LUTE] New frets

2010-02-14 Thread Nedmast2
Having just replaced all the frets on an instrument for the first time (buzzing problems) I was pleasantly surprised at the difference in the clarity of the sound of the instrument. A significant increase, unless my ears are mistaken. (Since I bought the instrument used, I don't

Beneficial ..Absolutely! Often? -Ouch! I should have fewer instruments, or more free time. But the worse they get, the more you appreciate it when you finally do change those funky, ratty old frets. It really does get easier to change frets the more often you do them. When is an

[LUTE] Strange lute in French painting

2010-02-14 Thread Nicolás Valencia
Hi all, I've found this lute in a painting by Jacques Linard, (France, 1600-1645). It's called The Five Senses and the Four Elements, so I guess the lute represents hearing. What kind of lute is this? [1]http://www.wga.hu/art/l/linard/senses.jpg Best, Nicolas --

I think one of the most interesting things about this picture is the cord with the loop going along the back of the instrument. Also the decoration along the top edge of the sides is something we fon't see in this century. Nancy At 07:31 PM 2/14/2010, Nicolas Valencia wrote:

Marquetry trim is pretty common to plucked instruments of the 21st century...at least pretty much any one that isn't a lute. The pegbox arrangement is quite odd. It looks almost like a renaissance mandore found itself grafted onto a renaissance lute. Eugene - Original Message - From:

Not that I'm at all expert in any of these questions, but it does look like the artist has attempted to depict the bird in motion. The lute, with it's second peg head reminds me a bit of the one Toyohiko Sato plays. That thing under the bird looks like it might be some sort of

I counted up the pegs and got a 9-c lute: treble rider (w/ broken chanterelle)+ 6 courses on the main pegbox and 2 doubled courses on the extension. Otoh, it might be 3 doubled courses on the extension making it a 10-c, tho. 10 frets on the neck. Fitting for the time and perfect for

Something else comes to mind about the curious pegboxes. If one was updating a 6-c for 9/10 courses, it would make sense to reuse the old 6-c pegbox. That would explain the different angles. Yes, the neck would be new as would be the extension pegbox but why remake the other pegbox if it

Count 'em again, folks- I'm counting 7 courses on the main pegbox. Treble rider, and 12 more pegs. I've got three courses- 6 pegs on the extension, the bottom one looks like a darker wood replacement (ebony?) -So we have a 10 course. There is a Dutch picture of a young man playing one of these
