Friends, I have been milling this idea around for a few days now --- my music history teacher said something like "bach would roll over in his grave to hear one of his violin sonatas performed on a modern violin..." something like that --- he was referring to the ability of the instrument to stay "in-tune" and the preciseness of the acoustics (string/instrument material and so on).
was there a preference in musical temperament - do you all have a preference? my father brought me a Venezuelan Cuatro from Trinidad and if I tune it with a tuner the intervals are off, if i tune it to itself its ok.. until i get to higher positions. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
