Subject: [LUTE] three (fairly) perky bandora tunes
Some pieces played on the Lute Society's bandora which I have on hire for
a bit longer. It's a nice instrument; it has a smokey sound and feels
satisfying to play. I still haven't mastered tuning. I reckon that with
an instrument like this - with wire strings, peg tuners, non-equal
temperament, fixed frets, fan frets - that tuning is going to be a bit of
a compromise. And I'm not sure where the best compromises are.

These pieces are from Cambridge MSS, transcribed by Donald Gill (and
thanks to Peter Forrester):
Grimstock - Bony sweet Boy - A Toy.
It must have been a bit odd then, just as now, to play little ditties like
this on a bass instrument?
