[LUTE] Re: Lute Temperaments

[magnus andersson]

   Dear all,

   I hope I haven't missed anyone's mention of Bardi, but he apparently
   witnessed the problem discussed here

   âand more than once Iâve felt like laughing when I saw musicians
   struggling to put a lute or a viol into proper tune with a keyboard..."

   My own personal experience is that it can however work very well with
   mean tone tuning without tastini, but it requires some rethinking.
   Having different semitones on the on the first and forth frets can imo
   be very useful when playing basso continuo on the theorbo.

   Best,

   Magnus

     I'm coming late to the discussion; perhaps an interesting read for
   some

     of us would be Adam Wead's dissertation titled "Lute Tuning and

     Temperament in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries".  Here, I

     believe, is the link:

     He compares several period methods of fret-setting, including Dowland

     (mistakes noted) and Gerle.
