Valery,
There is no such thing as a best sound or playing
position. No idea of a "best" way to get a sound from
a lute existed back then:
I already tell my opinion on this, and ask luthier about it . Any luthier on
the list ?
The matter of taste of ancient players and listener is unknown now. You can
quote this or that, and who knows what else was said ? (same with nails
playing... one quotes what he want to hear...)
I'm talking about the place on the lute that sounds, you can go more or less
to have some effects but there is a place your lute is at the optimal sound.
Again quoting old texts is interesting, playing the instrument is more
interesting IMO... (and buzzing is certainly not the rule...)
