How are the timelines of these instruments related, and what pieces include both instruments? During the renaissance era, recorder and lute players could join for any music, provided the compasses of the instruments weren't exceeded, as composers would not specify which instruments could

Dear Brad, You can hear that tinny, brittle, distorted sound if you put your ear right up to the ribs of the lute as you play it. (It's easier with a lute than a theorbo.) A mike placed very close to the instrument will capture some of that tinny sound. If you listen to a lute or theorbo from

The problems I've found in playing consort music (on lute) with recorders, is that commonly recorders are sounding an octave above written pitch. If the lute is on a top or middle line, recorders playing a lower line may be sounding above the lute; not good for the harmony. Consequently, I'm

Recipe for a really super natural lute sound: 1) Use 20-50 prohibitively expensive mics. 2) Place them at least 415 feet away from the instrument. 3) Arrange them in an incredibly intricate array involving rigging from a chemistry lab reminiscent of a bad sci-fi movie. (Be sure to
