[LUTE] Re: blog post

Hello Martin, Nice site and blog. I seem to recall that when loaded strings first came out (25 yrs ago?) that some of the evidence for their use was found in the small diameter holes in some lute bridges. To maintain string tensions at around present day levels the hypothesis was

I think that what I was trying to say has been misconstrued - as is often the case with these arguments. If you are on Facebook - or Earlyguitar.ning people can only contact you directly if you accept them as friends. This list is different. Anyone can join, there is no moderator, nobody

I am not sure why you indicated it is difficult to string a 10 course in plain gut. Mine has been strung that way for about 1 1/2 years and I know of others that do this regularly. But, the bass strings are quite large. The stringing is in equal tension - an experiment I tried last time I was at

[LUTE] Protocol was Re: Privacy

Well, to be clear, I didn't wish to say anything on the open list since, knowing how some may take any suggestion, even if meant helpfully (as explained in my longer subsequent posting), as a slight, a private rather than public message was thought more appropriate in this case.

I suppose you could rail against big bad Google (owner of youtube) but I doubt that will put food on the table. I actually think a more likely to succeed class action suit would be against the companies that automatically claim that your video of 16th century music violates their copyright for

This was before 2011, so I just took it as hand luggage. Those were the days I do recommend Corsica, though, having been there several times in about 2003-7. It's one of the few places I know where you can be sitting on a beach or at a harbourside restaurant in a temperature of about 30

[LUTE] Re: blog post

Martin; Your remark about vacationing in Corsica with your lute caught my attention. Did you fly? If so, how were you able to travel with your lute without risking its destruction at the hands of baggage handlers? Thanks. A. John Mardinly, Ph.D., P.E. Retired Principal

[LUTE] Re: blog post

Dear Martyn (and All), I'm not ruling out the possibility of loaded strings, but I do think the evidence from bridge holes is mixed, in the sense that we would have to be absolutely certain that a bridge with small holes was original. Even with modern gut strings it's possible to string a 6c

[LUTE] Re: blog post

Dear Martin, Martyn, and all, This is a very nice posting, and I agree with the idea that perhaps tensions were much lower than we seem to use today. Toyohiko Satoh has been doing this very thing for years, which is playing with the right hand close to the bridge, with low tension
