I will be visiting in the Netherlands in the last half of October. I'd
like to find concerts that might be feasible to attend while I'm
there. Can anybody point me to a web site for such listings? Or know
of anything in the vicinity of Delft in late October? Thanks.

When I looked into this a month or two ago, I concluded that there are
no easy answers. A shipping case or box hefty enough to really
protect the lute is extremely likely to incur oversize and possibly
also overweight charges. By the time you account for that cost both
ways, its
A reply from the US:
I'm still here. This weekend is a big holiday weekend here. Can't
remember if any of the lute seminars are happening now, or are in
another week. But vacations certainly might be happening. As well as
just enjoying the outdoors.

Maybe I'm a belt and suspenders sort of person, due to my engineering
background. But my lute(s) already HAVE Kingham cases. I'm looking for
something way stronger and more sturdy. A year ago, when I last attempted
to solve this problem, I even corresponded with them abit. They also make

Do you mean like how a good lute player can bring out certain notes to
make the polyphony more clear? A good reference would be the columns
of Ronn McFarlane in the LSA's quarterlys for the last year or two.
Ronn is a master at nuances of touch and expression.

A major problem is that those who would do this best are struggling to
stay awake at the wheel as they drive from one gig to another, paying
bills and eating the small profits.
Frederick Noads books for Guitar come to mind,

I don't really disagree with any of this. But just because lute
method books are not adequate in and of themselves without some
form of guided instruction from a teacher, does NOT mean that they
would not be of benefit, even very great benefit, to people between
their lessons 2 or 3 times a year.
I guess I would consider myself more of an early intermediate player
now, but I remember clearly the time of being a beginner - one living
far away from a teacher or anybody else who played lute really. These
are the things that I wanted, or that I think would have helped me
more.
Can any one comment on what is in this manuscript? Maybe some of
everything for so many pages? I couldn't find any info in the books I
looked at. Thanks.

Dear
Does anyone know if Curtis Daily is still doing the AquilaUSA business,
selling nylgut lute strings? The web page looks abit old, and I get no
response to the posted email there. I sent a check with an order some
time ago and I'd hate to find out I needed to cancel the check. Any
I've been reading the thread about bending strings about frets with
interest. But my current problem is simpler. I have a lute with
action that is too high. Using the test David van Edwards gives in
his little Care of the Lute booklet, it seems that the action is just
too high

Perhaps like many lute players, I started out playing lute strictly
from tablature. While I'm fluent reading mensural notation for
singing or other instruments, I've never mastered it with the lute. I
feel this is a lack, and would like to fix it - except for how much
work it is!

The bocal is flared slightly at the end, so it
could hold a reed, but it looks more like a bass recorder.
The bass and the two smaller ones form a continuo
group that was popular in France--a sort of
portable organ. There is a fairly extensive
literatature for three recorder continuo.
