Hello all Has somebody the knowledge, when the first printed books with tablature for a 7-course, 8-course, 9-course and 10-course lute appeared? Please give not only the book, but also the exact page on which the lowest couse is used. I have to verfy my own list.
I thought: 7-course one tone below the 6th c.: Newsidler Teutsch Lautenbuch 1574 (but I don't have a copy...) 7-course a fourth below the 6th c.: Barbetta 1582 8-course: Terzi and Molinario 1599 9-course: Francisque 1600 10-course: Kapsberger 1611 Is this right? Thanks for all efforts! Andreas To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
