Your post explains why the 8 course lute was developed, or as I like to call
it, the Double 7 . I have never found a string material of any sort that
would stand up to a scordatura range exceeding a whole tone. Even going for a
compromise tension (say an ideal E/E-flat) would still be

Thanks Daniel,
I do come to the lute from the guitar, though with a hiatus of 6 or 7 years in
between, so I am not finding the learning curve too steep, even though I was
not a particularly accomplished guitar player. Fortunately I'm a freelancer who
works from home and so have a lot of time

Hi Joshua,
I have 6 and 9 course orpharions and find that almost all mainstream
renaissance music works on the 6 course. There are some pieces where
you need to move low Ds and Fs up an octave, but after a while you do
this automatically. Where the 6 course is limited is the few

Thanks Alan, the plucking close the bridge seems like good tip indeed.
As for a 6-, 7-, and 10-course lute being the perfect set up for the
renassaince, why, I'm already a third of the way there! As long as I don't get
interested in baroque or continuo playing!

After about three years playing an 8 course lute, I acquired a 7 course. It is
the 7 course instrument I now most often play; I do find it the most
comfortable for me. I tune the 7th course to D and stop the F as needed.

Your post
In my own limited experience with an 8 course, tuning the D down to a C
(just one tone!) created the problem you cite. It took some time with a
string calculator to find a string that would work at both pitches. (I
used gimped gut with plain gut octave, btw.)

Hi Joshua,
I have a 7-course lute and I usually tune the 7th course to D.
However, I keep an extra 7th course in the case, and if I'm playing
lots of music where I need the 7th course in F I simply change it
over. It takes about 5 minutes to change the course, and if you use
plain gut strings

The 7 course configurtation can be superior- in somewhat the same way for the
same reasons that an 11 course Baroque lute is far more elegant,
architecturally sounder, easier to handle, and tonally balanced than the 13
course bass rider thing- but which is the model I own, because I play
