There are three dance suites in the Itabolatura di Diversi Autori 1536 that are each followed by a short Tochata. The first two state: Tochata nel fine del Ballo and the third, Tochata Del Divino Franc. Da Milano. The first two could as easily be by P.P.Borono as the dances are mostly

Look in Casteliono for some early ones... (Borrono, da Milano) but very short pieces, to use as a prelude, or an end of a suite ? ;-) Val -Message d'origine- De : lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] De la part de Arto Wikla Envoyé : mardi 8 mai 2012 20:57 À :

Thanks Val and Sean! And I had forgotten the Howard Meyer-Brown! He lists also some other. An interesting one is in Terzi's 1599 book. Looks quite nice. Arto On 09/05/12 09:27, Sean Smith wrote: There are three dance suites in the Itabolatura di Diversi Autori 1536 that are each followed

I bought a 7c ren lute strung in Nylgut. I love the Nygut, except for the chanterelle, it just doesn't seem to feel or sing as strongly as I wish - it seems thin. Do others have this problem? If so any suggestions, I've thought of going back to a nylon (which would be thicker?). Thanks in

Get a micrometer and measure it. You can't string lutes in the dark, and that's where you are without a micrometer. If it's a .38 mm nylgut and your lute requires a .40 or even a .42, you can get those sizes in nylgut. But you have to know where you are in order to go somewhere else. The new

Dear trj, My first choice is always real gut but there are mitigating factors. Plan B, which includes most of my waking life and lutes, settles on the New Nylgut. I do find it much nicer than the previous incarnation. It's closer to gut's density, tunes (and stays) quicker (and longer)

Hi, I am using fishing nylon since now about 4 years with perfectly fine results. It's plain, cheap and sings pretty well. And you can easily buy more than 50 meters for about 6 Euros (at least in Italy). Of course, you have to carefully measure the string length of your new lute

Dan's right about the micrometer. If you're in the US a digital micrometer (or caliper - useful for measuring the fret height, too!) is cheap at Harbor Freight and one should be in everyone's string box. I don't know how they did it in the old days but 3 cheers for modern metrics (and

My problem with a nylgut chanerelle was that it broke too easily (perhaps too thin?). Chris of Catlines recommended a Pyramid first string, nylon I believe. The gauge specified on its cover is 0.475, but my calipers measure it to be about .45 mm. Whatever, it sounds fine with the rest of my

If Mimmo could sell loaded gut/nylgut bass strings (Bass fishing?) to the fishing industry the availability could go up and the price would come down. 50 meters for 6 Euros anywhere on the planet is fine with me. Dan On May 9, 2012, at 11:53 AM, Luca Manassero wrote: Hi, I am using
