Dear lutenists, there is a problem - to me at least:
- Some time ago a certain person commented one of my "accords nouveaux" "y-tubings" by words: "it sounds like a bad guitar". I was playing a 10-courser stringed by synthetics. - Since last December I have been playing an 11-courser stringed by gut. In the beginning I had very harsh sound. Perhaps getting better? Not much. Who knows? But REALLY enjoyable touch and feel! - Now the 11-courser is in "garage"; some bar(-s) is(are) loose. Eagerly waiting to get it back... - The problem: My lutes stringed by synthetic strings sound also to me - especially when recorded! - "like a bad guitar". Is it really so, or did I just miss the touch to synthetics? worried, Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
