Baroque lutenists,
I forward my baroque mail, which I sent to the Lute-list, also here,
because I suppose here are members, who do not get the normal list.
Delete if you already got this!
[Wayne, if you happen to read this: How does it work, if I put both
lists to the address fields? Does
Dear lutenists,
activated by the huge interest of my Mouton-Johnson comparison, it just
came to my mind that the relation between American blues and French baroque
perhaps is not at all a coincidence. Perhaps the real swing in the form of
inegalite, un-equalness of notes, of performing music,
Hi Lutenists,
Dan W. pointed me a couple of interesting pictures of players:

You can also tighten loose frets by doing a similar thing: pull the fret toward
the nut, then loosen the knot and burn it down a few millimeters. Then put the
fret back in place and it will be tighter.

One detail that jumps out at me is the fruit bowl. It's a Chinese
bowl, with calligraphy on the side. Of course, Chinoiserie was in
fashion, and much faux-Chinese porcelain was produced in Europe, but I
don't think much (if any) was produced with calligraphy on them. That
would have been
I'm about to put a lute on the LSA 'sale' site. If anyone - in the
continental US - is interested in a Larry Brown 8 course student lute
with plywood case, contact me off list. A fine playing and sounding
instrument.

I'm also going to buy new frets, but i still don't know which diameter to take
now i use 0.95-85-75-65 on my 10c and 85-75-65-55 on my 7c. But i think they
are not too thick for my taste.
So in fact I have two questions about it (think I already asked, but I can't

Hi Arto -
If the message is addressed to more than one list, the robot chooses
to send it only to the first match, in this order..

feuillet, vihuela, cittern,

this is because many people are on more than one
Neat tricks, Sterling and Leonard! They've allowed me to yet again put
off refretting.
While we're here, does any have any tricks for getting and/or keeping
the 1st fret really tight?
Best to all,
Chris.

Hi lute list,
just a copy to the lute list too. I just sent it to the baroque lute list,
but there might be interested here, too? Just delete in case you read also
the baroque list... ;-)
Best,

I think it must be caramel coated pop-corn, or perhaps Cracker-Jacks.

A good needle-nose pliers, or locking surgical forceps (hemostat), to roll the
tightening end on, instead of trying to pull it by fingers. Tremendous force
can be applied this way (carefully, hopefully). After tightening squeeze the
fret firmly with fingers, to keep it tight, while finishing
You can also tighten frets after they are in place by slipping some sort of
wedge underneath. I make little notched wedges in my shop, but a short
section from the end of a round toothpick also works pretty well (although
you can stab your self with the sharp end if you aren't careful...).

I heard an interesting radio article some years ago on NPR about early jazz
in New Orleans. Apparently, most of the band leaders at the time were German
immigrants. Many (most?) of the early jazz musicians learned how to play
from German bandmasters, which had a definite influence on the style.
Dear Collective Wisdom, this time especially the French section,
I would like to find out, what certain 4 lines of French text say. The
handwriting is not very clear, not to speak of the meaning... ;-)
The text is in ms. Saizenay 279.153, page 3 at the end of Sarabande La
Mignone, and here
The french text is a poem :
A que je sens de penchant à me rendre
Si mon Berger savait par où me prendre
Hélas ! comment pourrais-je me défendre
Contre un amant si fidèle et si tendre
Google translation give
Ah, I feel inclined to surrender
If my Shepherd knew where to take me
Alas! how could
