Dear Stuart, Very nice playing. It's a pleasant change to hear solos played on the bandora. I would guess that the instrument you are using has unequal fretting in some sort of meantone system, because the third of the last chord of the second piece is (inevitably?) slightly sharp.
Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stuart Walsh Sent: 13 June 2011 12:29 To: Lute Net Subject: [LUTE] bandora tunes I've got the Lute Society's bandora on loan. It's a nice instrument. used to have one years ago but I'd forgotten how difficult it is to get these things tolerably in tune. Here's a go at three very short pieces from Thomas Brown's 'Bandore and lyra viol book' (about which I know nothing), copied out years ago by Donald Gill. (And thanks to Peter Forrester). The tuning isn't quite right - but not too far out, I hope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipGcIA8EUX8 and here's a couple of RT's uke tunes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f22GLlsLZug Stuart To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
