Andreas, Thanks for pointing it out. Interestingly, the ornament table in this source is almost identical to the manuscript one usually attributed to Falckenhagen. Being typeset, however, you can actually read the words in the Beyer! Beyer is also a little more detailed. His

Bill and Ted, I think the nature of mahogany would be counter to the needs of the lute ribs. I've had mahogany bodied guitars, but the form of the lute and the sound production is different. As a joining piece between the ribs it should work, but the resonating body of the lute is different

Mahagony widely used at Gibson Les Paul electric guitars and Rickenbacker basses. All these instruments are deepest godly sounding instruments with lots of sustain. I dont think there is a room for this wood at lute construction. And it is very heavy and color is hot with deep

That said, I've seen some lovely 7c instruments and they sound better for resisting the extra course. Ed Martin's, for example, as well as Jacob Herringman's 7c Gerle. The latter is interesting in that it retains the earlier parabolic neck which, I think, would not support 8 courses. If that

Dear Bill, Never used the material for ribs and the like, but a few random thoughts come to mind: There are, of course, many types of mahogany and not all are classed as 'true' mahogany so we must be careful about over-generalising but having said that, compared to

I have been asked to play the above lute song by Dowland, but one big problem: I don't play or own a renaissance lute! Would anyone happen have to a version for theorbo in French tab? Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance. Shaun Ng 0426 240775 | shaunk...@gmail.com | shaunng.blogspot.com

Thanks for that. Are there staff notation versions flying around online? Yes, I doubt this will be satisfactory for our standards, but if a singer asks a rather baroque theorbo player to do a renaissance lute player's job, knowing full well that he does not play the instrument, then we can

Dear lute lovers, I am searching si dolce è 'l tormento by Monteverdi from the collection Quarto scherzo delle ariose vaghezze by Carlo Milanuzzi, 1624. (the facsimile if possible) A tenor wants me to play an accompaniment for him and gave me the arranged version with an interesting

You can find a facsimile reproduction of the piece on page 69 of Michael Gavito's thesis Carlo Milanuzzi's Quatro Scherzo... A serach for Michael Gavito +Carlo Milanuzzi should take you to the PDF. A modern typeset version (following the original) is posted on my Ning page.

A thought that comes to my mind is to find a midi version of the lute song and pull that into your notation or tab program to use that as a starting point. At least I can bring it in to to Finale and do that. BTW, Stefan Lundgren's Op. 35 composition Dawn for solo theorbo is based on five
