Steve Hacket's recordings are 6 years earlier than It's Late, but I am sure Mr Hacket was probably not the first to record this technique. best wishes Mark -Urspr=C3=BCngliche Mitteilung- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Verschickt: Di., 13. Mrz. 2007, 15:25 Thema:

This is not extremely lute-related, but maybe there are enough people here interested in wood ... I once saw a photograph of an outdoor yard in NYC where Steinway had wood aging. I always thought that exposure to the elements was for wood a detriment, being, say, one reason why people paint

It's also common to put something on the ends of the boards (wax, shellac, ..) to seal the end grain and help keep the end from drying more quickly than middle. Otherwise, the ends of the board shrink too rapidly, which tends to cause checks. -Original Message- From: Taco Walstra

Indeed. Wood that's dried too rapidly can behave very strangely and is often unstable. I had some kiln-dried beech once that had been dried too quickly and was extremely unstable. Not something you'd want to use for a lute neck, to say the least. -Original Message- From: Craig Allen

Hi All, Had to weigh in. To paraphrase the great Guido Sarduci, Wood is'a my beat. I have had good results with kiln dried poplar for lute necks. It has proven quite stable. The bias against kiln drying I think stems mostly from tone woods. Most of the Pac NW tone wood cutters dry the splits

Nothing necessarily wrong with kiln-drying. I'm working with a nice slab of kiln-dried red beech right now that's very stable. However, if the folks running the kiln try to rush things, the wood can get pretty messed up, and it's not always obvious until you do something like cut it. Guy

The top of my chitarrino, made by lutenist Eero Palviainen, comes from a house wall made in the 16th century - says Eero. Thus the wood has aged a longish time outdoors. :-) And the sound of the instrument is definitely best chitarrino sound I've ever met... Aging wood outdoors seems to work...

I've heard of wood for instruments being deliberately soaked/immersed - until it actually gets a bit moldy. Herbert Ward wrote: This is not extremely lute-related, but maybe there are enough people here interested in wood ... I once saw a photograph of an outdoor yard in NYC where Steinway
