Thanks, Goeran.
We have debated on this list before the virtues or otherwise of "live"
performance-type recordings as opposed to "perfect" commercial CD-type
recordings.
I don't like to hear blemishes (especially my own!) but at the same time
I don't want to spend hours editing out every single one. I usually do
a couple of takes and use the best one, sometimes editing particularly
gruesome bits - but on the whole my best recordings have been single
takes, no edits. If I were actually making a CD I think I would have to
do lots of takes and lots of editing, but my main objective with these
MP3s is just to share the music and demonstrate the sound of the lutes.
I hope I have shown that gut strings can be used to good effect.
Best wishes,
Martin

Cool Martin!
Did you record it all in one go or weed out mistakes in audacity
afterwards? You seem to be quite unique in the lute community in that
you BOTH build excellent lutes as well as being a very sensitive and
able player.
Kind regards

Hi All,
The new piece of the month is in the usual place:
www.luteshop.co.uk/month/pieceofthemonth.html
It's the last of a series of recordings I made with a Venere 7c lute
(67cm, strung all in gut) before it went to its new owner.
I hope you enjoy it.
Best wishes,
Martin
