Actually there are hints about the playing position even in very early
tutors of the renaissance. They all mention a playing position between
bridge and rose.
I've seen many of today's players playing over the rose which would be
completely wrong following that instructions but I have to
Dear Francesco. Thomas, et all,
This is an interesting thread (pun intended) , as I think we are really
discussing the hows and why's, in the metamorphosis of the lute. By that, I
mean how the instrument changed through the times, why the transition
tunings appeared, but were short lived, and
here's an item to pique the interest of those with

There is a scene in - I think it's Sturm und Drang when the young student

I have been interested in this for a while. It seems
to me to be a valuable insight into historical lute
construction, i.e to convert a rennaissance lute to a
baroque lute rather than only replicate the final
product. Ed-I think you should now convert the 11c to
a bassrider 13! If I had an 11c
According to luthier-friend this type of sorry expediency is exactly what
was the cause of low survival rate of baroque lutes. This is not as bad as
cello-pins for lutes, but DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME. Earlier lutes just don't
have enough wood to hold 13 courses.

You should read the latest journal of the LSA which
discusses this topic in depth. Surely we can agree
that many baroque lutes didn't begin life with 13
