Hi dear fellow lutenists
My experience in many international "master courses" is that those, who
talk most of this or that tuning, "4th" or "6th" or "equal", are just
those, who are not the best in the intonation...
Lute is a strange animal: you make compromises, you put tastini, you set
your frets in different places, and most importantly, you really can
also effect the pitch by your finger, not as much as the viola di gamba
players, but yes, you can! :-)
