Hey- non taken! Just an outbreak of discussion taking place, as threatened- comes from sneezing and not washing hands on an international forum. I have a really, really good capo for my 7-string, steel-string guitar. That does open up whole different sonorities. I can have a high pitched fake Orpharion or remove the capo, retune, and have still too-high pitched fake Bandora. Lots of fun, this instrument.
dt- What's in a name indeed. I have no idea what to call my archthing. (Maybe Lucille, unless BB King has that copyrighted.) String lengths of 65 and 97 cm, but no 8ves on the bass diapasons. In any case, nothing you call me will improve the smell. And where did you get Buxtehude's pitch from? >My apologies, Daniel, Franz, et al. > >I sincerely intended no offense (or even threat) with the "silly" comment. >That was more meant for ribbing than as a serious attack on all those silly >guitarists (which I myself am much more than any incarnation of lutenist). >Because I don't capo solo music doesn't mean better qualified musicians >shouldn't. Enjoy. > >Eugene > -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
