There is no "perfect" tuning. There are several ways to tune the lute instruments. [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_temperament From my experience I can tell you that you can't have all the notes on all frets at equal temperament in the same moment. You can adjust the frets that you use more often (usually in the first position) and you must be patient and forget about "perfect"/"imperfect". By the way, as I played your lute before I can tell you in that moment was very good. --- On Mon, 2/6/12, Nicolae Szekely <[email protected]> wrote: From: Nicolae Szekely <[email protected]> Subject: [LUTE] imperfectly tune To: [email protected] Date: Monday, February 6, 2012, 12:43 PM In fact, what things do to a good tune of a lute ? after 4 years, I can't tune my lute... It is a lute ? (imperfect construction?) Or the strings ? I use New Nilgut. I thing the soundboard makes some harmonics that "harm" the perfect sound. Maybe it is some secrets to make a verry good lute (sounboard) ? I am a little dispered... I cant play on lute when, for example, the first string, in a position, is correctly "g", but in c position is NOT "a" .... Sorry for my bad english. -- To get on or off this list see list information at [2]http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html -- References 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_temperament 2. http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/%7Ewbc/lute-admin/index.html
