Paul Odette was inspired by Julian Bream. One played thumb out, the other played thumb under. Both got excellent results. That is what matters the most.

As it seems to me, all authors after 1600 who deal with this subject recommend thumb out. Vallet even ridicules thumb in. We'll never know what player actually did, if they complied with the recommendations. Today, research on strings and soundboards points into the same direction: thumb out. Everybody is free, if course, to do what they like best. Everybody has been so, ever since. I don't care. And I don't want to listen to players who play the baroque lute thumb in, any more. my two cents. just an ordinary member Mathias __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet mit der [1]Telekom Mail App --- Original-Nachricht --- Von: G.

G. tor. 1. aug. 2019 kl. 21.28 skrev Ron Andrico <[1][2][2]praelu...@hotmail.com>: Relax, Howard. No one is on trial here. Perhaps anathema is a less apt choice to describe alternatives to a right-hand position for playing post-1600 repertory on proper lutes. But for all intents and purposes, thumb-under technique is certainly not an historically appropriate right-hand position for what we call baroque lute. That is not to say it was never used, but Besard (Dowland) and Vallet, said it in print, and there are countless pictorial representations from the period that strongly suggest the right-hand thumb was very, very much out. This is a difficult truth to countenance for all those notable soldiers of the famous 1970s thumb-under brigade, who fought long and loudly to distinguish themselves from lute-dabbling classical guitarists (even to the point of eschewing the wearing of the ceremonial black turtleneck), but it is a truth nonetheless. I'll say it here: Based upon the body of surviving evidence from the period, lutes with diapasons designed to be used for post-1600 music were historically intended to be played with the right-hand thumb out, not under.

But I could easily have missed it, or deleted it and forgotten about it. I tend not to waste time dealing with categorical statements about how every player in history played the same way. And if, by chance, I've ever written anything here in the last 25 years that sounds like a categorical statement about the way every player, ever, played the same way, chalk it up to sloppy writing (or thinking), delete it, and forget about it.
