I repost this as it didn't turn up in the archives: Thx Wolfgang!
Did anybody notice Judenkunig's rule of tuning? "Primo cordam testudinis ceteris maiorem crassioremque omnibus cum sua octava certo nec nimium intenso modulo intende." = First tune that lute string, which is bigger than the rest and thicker than all, with its octave in a certain, but not too tense way. After that he goes upward, tuning the 5th to 1st courses. So, this is the opposite way: Not the 1st course first, and as tense as it will suffer. Instead, 6th course first, and to a recognizable pitch, but not too tense. This lute won't need a new 1st course every week. -- Best, Mathias > "wolfgang wiehe" <mailto:[email protected]> schrieb: > > another facsimile is now online! > > > > http://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/~db/0004/bsb00043257/images/ > > > > greetings > > wolfgang To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
