Dear lutenists,
I just re-strung my old Stephen Barber 10-course Berr by Aquila's NNG's
and some D's. There has been some talk here about the lute soundboards
getting "tired". This Berr has had no "surgery", neither any need of
repair. Perhaps 26 years is not so much, but long time anyhow... ;-)
And the lute sounds quite good still - at least to my ears. If
interested, you can hear one unedited and "un-echoed" example of one
ballad tune in ms. Board, "Home againe, Market is done" in:
