it is not impossible. I have a Stephen Barber archlute and the SL for the first
pegbox is 650mm top string tuned as g' with a'=440. I use an old Nylgut .38 and
that has not broken. I must be lucky! It may be relevant that the top course
runs over the nut and to the first peg outside the pegbox.
Happy New Year to all!
Anybody with a good background in statistics? I would be most grateful if you
could contact me off list to clarify a few terms/ideas. You may even enjoy it
as it relates to lutes!
All the best,
Hector

Does anyone have any dates for Fuenllana. I have just come across a
source which gives them as c.1500-1579. It seems unlikely to me that
he would have lived to be 79... Groves gives fl. 1553-1578.

Thank you. 1525 seems more likely for his date of birth but 1605 would
still make him 80 when he died!

Hi Paul,
I'll be honest, a scale of 65cm would be much more suited for a pitch
of F at AD0 - I think you'll find with a lute that is a little larger,
like this one, will sound so much better at that pitch. The whole
instrument will resonate better if you string it at the pitch it
Hi Paul,
No need to be embarrassed. We all started not playing the lute
remember! Never be afraid to ask questions here, you'll find everyone
here more than happy to answer your questions, no matter whatever they
are.
You're correct in your assumption, the renaissance lute
My huge apologies to Paul and everyone else -
I really embarrassed myself there - Paul emailed me personally and my
last reply to Paul was intended to be emailed directly and my stupid
email set up automatically CC'ed it to everyone on the list.
So, to Paul, I really do apologise
