Thanks, Are. I will read it. But, Bailes' lute is not THAT small.

I wonder how common these small baroque lutes were...

Dear Mathias,
No, I have not gone in that direction. There seems to be relatively new
interest in the topic, as Paul Beier is going to record a CD of music of
Reusner on 12 course.
Just yesterday, I received a new CD by Anthony Bailes.. "Old Gaultiers
Nigtinghall". He plays a small Frei, with a Dutch like head, 12
course. The recording contains music of Mezangeau, Pierre Gaultier,
Thomas Mace, and Bouvier. All pieces are in transitional tunings, and I
like it very much.
Good luck, with this. It is something I am interested in.

Dear Collected Wisdom,
is there someone on the list who is willing to share their experiences
with double headed 12c lutes and related repertoire? I'm just about to
enter that flowery meadow.
What I'm interested in is
- choice: What made you choose that type of lute (that luthier)?
- measurements: Am I right in assuming that small mensur (about 55 cm
VSL) works better?
- inferentially, luthiers: Who built your instrument and when?
- tunings: which one do you prefer?
Any comments appreciated!
