A good thing to try out would be lanolin. That might help with hard skin.
Otherwise there're many other creams and products, but I don't know the

relaxation, etc.), cause the
Dear Christopher,
besides any historical consideration, you'll see

The reason why I do it and would recommend it is

Dear all,
two points added to Vance's ideas:
keep always the same the distance from the index-thumb to the little finger.
That means that if you have to play in the 5th course, you would have to
move your arm. In this way you teach your body a very logical way of
working: only one
Hi,
I've learned NOT to use the arm while playing and to fix the pinky on
the soundbooard (for orientation). If you move the pinky IMHO it doesn't
make sense to put it on the soundboard anyway.
The tone production should be with the fingers using them in a way like
hammering on the the

Dear Vance,
no matter if it is in Italian of French tab, I personally
think that Francesco (even the easier pieces) is definitively not the
right music for beginners. Can be played, but I would recommend something
else - less complex- if I had a student starting from zero.
Dear Jon,
Not willing to bring this exchange into an off- topic subject (I remember a
fairly bad experience for all recently), just wanted to mention that the US

Dear Attila,
It depends, there're many factors you should consider:
thickness of the instrument and building style, density, diameter and any
other info about the strings you'd use, and so on.
Normally, g' at a=440Hz for such a string length would be a bit too much,
but you never know until you

regardless of whether I find the whole thing (argument)

It doesn't make any difference, I wouldn't worry about that.
How can your sister be Jewish and you are not? Or are you referring to
choosing the Jewish faith of her husband?
Dear Vance,
you have the official and easiest explanation for the

some serious historians rather than Hollywood movies), and I insist:
according to serious researchers, Judaism is not a race. But do not
Dear all,
lutes are mentioned in inventories of the Spanish courts, and was clearly
used in Spain.
There're many speculations about why the vihuela seems to have overtaken the

Vance said:
I never said Judaism was a race, you had better read the string
again, Judaism is the religion practiced by the Jewish people in general

various others that choose to accept it.
This is not what you've said, but doesn't matter.

On the title page of EL MAESTRO his name is clearly written: LUYS MILAN.

I guess the same one, as in Valenciá or Catalá you would spell it that way.

something similar happens with Estevan/Esteban Daza/Daça
Both are ok, as well as Luys and Luis. There no one more appropriated than
the other one.

It is actually bigüela, and not biguela.

Dear all,
Does anyone have experience with the Nicolas Vallet's Psalms =

a transcription of some of the pieces,
Already done.
It is perfectly legible.
This people in Spain have done a great job.

Dear Jim,
would you please tell me (us) in which specific pieces of Paladino you find

I've been working in some of the pieces for years, and didn't have that

Thanks.

Dear All:
I'd like to add a comment on octave
Dear Herbert,
I'm afraid I'll disagree with your teacher, with
respect.
Having the little finger in the soundboard is fine, and very useful for
different reasons.
On the other hand, you should be able to play with the right arm as free as
possible (specially while playing
Hi Daniel,
I don't think you want to practice in one way to play in some other way once
you're good enough. Life's too short, I'm afraid.
I would recommend the beginner to try to develop good habits starting from
0, and in that direction, I don't think that any part of your body should
be rigid
