> And, sure, technique will be different, too I think someone earlier spoke about playing closer to the bridge, I think this important, 99% of the time none of my fingers are near the rose at all, most often at least 1 cm away. I think this produces much more volume. After ALK first heard me play he asked if my lutes were so loud or it was my playing, I think it is probably a mixture of both. A few months ago we played in Bamberg for just under a 1000 audience and people who were right at the back said they could hear every note of the lute. I think it was due to the wonderful acoustics of the hall, but also due to the bass lute I was using. Bigger lutes just have a bigger sound and you can play even closer to the bridge, in relation to a smaller g lute. Probably using bigger lutes and heading towards the bridge is the HIP way to deal with these problems. In the end sounds better and looks cooler than a single strung archlute :) Mark -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
