Beautiful playing - utterly authentic and convincing as far as I can see. Does anybody know anything about his lute, and what kind of gut strings he's using? Bill From: Valery Sauvage sauvag...@orange.fr To: Lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Sent: Friday, 12 April 2013, 8:57

I'm guessing this is the Laurentius Greiff (1610) lute that appears on the CD: http://www.carpediem-records.de/en/De-Visee. Not to be too nitpicky (OK: actually, to be the nitpicky bastard I know myself to really be), but convincing is much more important than authentic in my humble opinion.

If so, it was restored by Nico van de Waals and there are nice photos of it inside and out(!) in Andreas Schlegel's book Die Laute in Europa 2 on page 97 Best wishes, David At 14:15 + 12/4/13, Braig, Eugene wrote: I'm guessing this is the Laurentius Greiff (1610) lute that appears on

They actually look a little TOO white for Savarez KF. They look more like 1st generation Nylgut- but I doubt that he would use that stuff. More likely plain gut? Dan On 4/12/2013 9:43 AM, Martin Shepherd wrote: The basses look very white - could they be Savarez KF strings? M To get on or

No, Toyohiko uses pure gut, no metal. He strings his lutes with a low tension gut, and he has moved away from metal in the basses - no loaded, no gimped, certainly no wound strings. In fact, that is what I have been using lately, pure gut, no metal. It really does give a glorious sound.

Martin, On KF strings I concur with you about using them for the lower strings. Diapasons 12, 13 and 14 on my 'toy' theorbo (145cm) sounded just too just dumpy with gut; KFs solved the problem, and to my ears sound just like gut in this register. Miles On 2013-04-12, at 2:06 PM, Martin

That's fascinating, Ed. I naively thought there would be problems of playing in tune when thick, pure gut basses were stopped, as it does when one tries to use thick nylon for the fifth course, for example. The instrument sounds great, so why all the fuss about loading, catlines

The basses are either Aquila Venice or Pistoy from Dan Larson: https://www.facebook.com/ToyohikoSatoh.lute/photos_stream Alexander On 12/04/2013 19:06, Martin Shepherd wrote: Sorry I sent this to Ed, when I meant to send it to the list. Original Message Subject:
