Hello all lutenetters, I do not often post, although I have been following the lutelist for many years. As some of you know, I have been playing renaissance lute for over 30 years. The last time I had a lute made for me was back in 1981,and although I've had to modify it with the ages to make

Thx for replying, Well I never liked that 10 course, so I said what the heck, lets try something else with that. Unfortunately I was limited to the original 59 cm on the fingerboard without undergoing major surgery. Yes I'm kind of tempted by the Tiorbino idea, I understand it is quite an

Hello, I have recently converted my 10 course Renaissance lute, into a small 13 course archlute. String length of first 6 couses ( doubled exept for 1st) = 59 cm while the Single basses 7 through 13 are 101 cm. I am looking for suggestions on how I should tune it and string gauges...I plan to

And how long have you been playing in Duluth now Ed? , frankly I think the Minnesota ballet should be ashamed of not having heard this music before Sting released it. Sting may have put Early music on the map for the general population, but it still makes me sick to my stomach that we have been

Hello all, I myself have been playing lute for close to 25 years, but am not a professional musician. I find that for my personal use, and the occasional concerts that I give, a combination of Sofracob strings and Savarez , works out best for me, both in an economical sense and a practical one.

So on top of that, Sting cannot even ENUNCIATE in his own language. as for the awakening the sleeping interest we can all gain for, I am confident the lute community, which includes me, does not need Sting to awake the sleeping interest.I personally woke up in 1978, long before any pop

what I think is that he really is full of himself. I used to like Sting for the stuff he is good at. And I guess I still like him, however I find it appalling and inconsiderate for the people who have been playing this music for years (like myself) and have been outdone by someone who simply has
