[LUTE] KF vs. new Aquila bass strings

A question for those of you who have tried, used, and been satisfied with the Savarez KF (originally for harp) bass strings- the gut like one starting at .90 or .95 mm thickness (losing memory here) and have also tried Mimmo Peruffo's new basses- How do they compare? I am mostly quite happy

Beware! The imslp entries noted above (no doubt quite innocently by Lex) are of an early 20th century reworking of Guedron's song. The music is completely new, only the words are shared. I found this out when a singer brought it to me. I don't know if this song, or other

[LUTE] Re: lute and flute ideas

[LUTE] Re: lute and flute ideas

Hello Gary, this is a great idea and should work fine, if she also has some Jazz background or at least is familiar with it. She should try Ganassi's division tables to get a feeling for improvisation. Try starting with Diego Ortiz, the divisions should work for the flute as well. I think

[LUTE] Re: lute and flute ideas

Hi Gary, London pro musica had arrangements of Bassano and Dalla Casa with tab for the lute (LPM REP3 and REP 5). Dunno if still available. Ortiz Tratada de glosas is another candidate: modern edition (Bärenreiter BVK1954). Also the lute ayre repertoire can be very rewarding, especially if

Collective Wisdom of Performing Lutenists: I have someone who plays flute interested in doing some duets . . . She has a Renaissance flute and I have a 6c in A and an 8c in G. I would appreciate any thoughts on appropriate repertoire--I'm assuming she would play either vocal lines
