[LUTE] Tiorbino

Hi all- Many years ago I strung my attiorbato as a tiorbino and it worked quite well. I only kept it that way for a while though as I wanted to try other things. Anyway I was thinking of doing it again and I have a few questions about tiorbinos. Were they always single strung or

[LUTE] Re: [LUTE] Re: Bach’s Lute Suites: This Moose is Blasted

Hi-sorry if this has been discussed in this thread, but consider Bach's BWV 1025 for violin and harpsichord which was only recently (1993) discovered to be based on a lute suite by Weiss. Did Weiss supply Bach with a score in staff notation, or did Bach read from the tab?

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Mouton's campanella technique

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Early Recordings

Ah--thanks for reminding me of your site. I was mistaken--it wasn't Satoh but Lutz Kirchof with Sonata 40. I am still anxious to hear it as it seems to be quite a rare recording. --Sterling From: Peter Van Dessel peter.vandes...@gep.kuleuven.be To: sterling price spiffys84

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Early Recordings

Ok-now after looking at the Weiss recording site I remember which Satoh recording I was looking for. Its: SLW: Lautenmusik aEUR Lute Music - 3LP / Philips with Sonata 46 in A that interests me. I have never seen this lp anywhere. -Sterling From: sterling price spiffys84

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Early Recordings

Like many of you, I collect baroque lute recordings(on LP and CD). I've been collecting them since before I first got a baroque lute in 1994. My latest Lp I recieved from Europe-a Toyohiko Satoh record from 1981 of Bach BWV 995 and 1007. The sleeve says the lute used is a Van der
