Very interesting experiment, Danny. I saw many make comments on You Tube, but as I do not have an account, I could not comment there.
Nice playing, and I enjoyed both interpretations. Well done! I must have different tastes from what others posted, because I actually prefer the 11 course version. IMHO, the more subtle sound of the gut stringing makes the difference. I actually hear more clarity with gut, especially in the basses. Yes, it is not as big of a sound as the 13-course lute, but if the 2 lutes were strung similarly, one could get more of a sense of comparison. ed At 04:07 PM 12/30/2009, Daniel Shoskes wrote: > I recently did a video comparison of the D Major Reusner Passacaglia > between my 11 and 13 course lutes, but having been recorded a few > months apart, it wasn't really a fair competition.
