reentrant tuning is when the strings you would normally expect to be
lower are actually higher in pitch - nearer to the 1st string than the
last. in other words the strings don't run in a progressive
A great book! I really do like Kiplings books but only know them in

Dear Sean and Craig,
I think a,c,e,a was a slip of the computer keyboard. (Assuming a 1st
course tuned to a') Mudarra gives two tunings for the guitar:
a',e',c',g and a',e',c',f. (I prefer to list the strings starting
with the 1st course, i.e. the one highest in pitch.)

While examining the Scolar Press facsimile of Campion's My sweetest

many thanks for your excellent posting. Your mails are always very

You are absolutely right, that most of the modern editions etc. give

this is precisely how I count Campions' Fire, Fire (Third Book of Ayres,

whereas My sweetest Lesbia goes from 3 to C-slash. The

Dear Peter,
Campion's Fire, fire is similar to My sweetest Lesbia, in that

that's wonderful! You saved my evening after a particular hard day.

Lutes are never tuned in seconds because it usually takes much longer than
that.

Wrong! Ask Stefan how (if ever) I tune my 10-course. It's *very* fast (I

The note known as a long would not normally feature in tablature,

Dear Rainer,
You're quite right, of course. Milan uses a long for the final note
of his pieces. Whether he means the last chord to be held for the
full length of a long, or it is a way of showing the end of the
