Dear All
It's interesting to read the views of all who have discussed this
subject recently but how far do anatomical differences in digit lengths
and ease of wrist rotation affect whether TU or TO is easier to learn?
Are there obvious anatomical hand differences between the exponents of
either TU or TO? . I also wondered whether , for CGs, there was some
correlation between the ease of sight -reading and difficulties in
learning TU. A number of guitarists will learn French Tab on their
guitar before they obtain a lute and so the scene is already set by the
time they transfer to the lute. I certainly did this and I wonder now
whether I should have learned Italian Tab during which I would have
slowed down sufficiently to change my right hand.technique. As it is I
play predominantly TO but admire those who play so elegantly TU.
regards
Charles
