[LUTE] Re: Universale

2008-11-25 Thread Anthony Hind

I recently ordered strong trebles from Mimmo Peruffo.
The ones that Mimmo says are as strong as nylon.
If I recall corectly, on a 60cm G lute they can stand
being tuned up to higher C.
They have not been available for the last year or so,
but they are now back in stock.

I have only had them on my lute for a week so I can't
state for certain that they have the same durability
as Unversale strings, but I would expect that to be so.
They tuned up exceptionally quickly, and there after
needed very little retensing.

They also seem very true, but are perhaps brighter than
Kathedrale, although, the initial brightness softens slightly,
or you get used to it quickly.

Kathedrale last about two months which is quite good really,
and they do have a mellow sound.
However, my lute playing neighbour, however, actually preferred this  
one to Kathedrale,

saying he very much liked their clarity. So it is also a question of
personal taste, and playing expectation. He told me he liked a treble
to stand out and have a strong sound.

I checked with Mimmo as to whether they were generally available,
and he told me they are now standard from 38 to 48.
Of course some string sellers may still be stocking the previous strings
so you could check with them, or order them directly from Mimmo.

I agree that the loaded strings are expensive, but to my mind worth
the effort (as Daniel implies) especially for an 11c lute, where  
thicker basses are a real

problem. Gimped are good, but quite bright, and probably better
on a dark larger bodied 13c lute, unless you want to try half wound
on these.

They are not dedicated to lute- they simply make BY FAR the
strongest, most durable treble strings I have ever used - in my case,
a pair of .42 mm (perfectly true and in tune with each other) that I
put on my vihuela, a close copy of the Chambure artifact by Harris 
Barber. Got them in June, and only this past week is one of them
beginning to shred. That is the only string I get for the lute from
them; as they are expensive. I did get three strings for my bass
viol, very good on that instrument too.

I imagine that they would be useful for courses all the way down to
the 4th  octaves, but the expense does not justify it- and for
sound, those durable trebles are not quite as sweet as the more
delicate strings. No free lunch! -Anyway, I have no issues or
complaints about courses from the second on down that I get from the
dedicated lute string specialists. Except the ungodly price of
Mimmo's current line up of loaded strings; but the trouble it takes
him to make one they are by no means overpriced.

As I told Ed Martin, check the Universale home page carefully for the
sentence that says they can indeed make strings as thin as 0.36 mm.
That's thin.-Dan



   I checked Universale's website, do they have lute strings? I saw
   strings only for bowed instruments...

Depends on how, and if you play it. Shelf life is longer than CDs, 
most CDs start degrading after a few years.

  Does USB limit the bandwidth?  Dont see any other reason for a USB TT
to be inferior.

It's not about bandwidth. It's stereo, so there are no bandwidth 
issues. (unless you have quad LPs) The cheap USB turntables sound bad,
and this has to do with the quality of the turntable and the 
inexpensive AD components in the input stage as welll as in the 
amplifier stage.
Expensive ones sound better, but then you could get a professional 
quality interface that you can use for recording lute instead, and 
use it with your turntable. The RME box has a turntable input as well 
as line inputs.

 3. If you can't deal with the whole tracking force thing, get a P
 mount model. Easy to deal with.

provided you can get stylii.  Used to be Radio Shack carried em all,
and lots of audio specialty stores caried technics and other good
cartridges with replacement stylii.  Used to be.

Easy to get. Widely available.

 5. If your records are chatty  natty, they need to be cleaned. Nitty
 Gritty record cleaners for this for this, the one with the vacuum.
 Some hifi stores will do this for a few cents.
I recall ultrasonic clearners and special fluids, stuff which might
stand a chance of dealing with the kind of oil rgeasy soot typical of
new york city and other places where coal is(was) burned for power
generation.  Physical contact is a nono with vinyl of course.

Nitty Gritty good. Extensively tested, widely used, sterophile recommended


If you have a cartridge that takes one you can find available on the
market.  Finding, best to stock up, keep in mind the lifetime of a good
stylus, 100 hours of play is what I recall, but that might have been
for saphire, hopefully longer for diamond, especially since industrial
diamonds are pretty cheap now.

Widely available, relatively long lasting, but if you are mastering, 
you need it only once per disk.

 If you have something you really want some extra care applied to,
 record it twice, and edit back and forth to get the best tracking.
I have heard that Vinyl has a memory, play leaves it temporarily
distorted.  Supposed to wait an hour between playings to let it
recover.  Might be that ambient temperature has an effect on this too.
 EQ normally is not necessary. However, if you wish to jazz up the
 sound, record the master untouched, then apply effects to a separate
 file. Apply all effects using a minimum 24 bit master.
 If you Turntable has rumble
you should get one that doesnt.  Place it on a massive table which is
vibration-isolated to minimize the effect of outside vibrations (street
traffic, sonic booms, gallomping children)

Rumble can come through the air, and if it does, it will rumble. The 
sound waves can be picked up by the tonearm, are a combination of any 
of the frequency sensitive parts.
If your floor is vibrating, it will be difficult to make a good 
transfer as the air will vibrate as well. Some turntables, even high 
quality ones, simply rumble internally.

You want your take-off to be as close to a master as you can get it.
If any of the audio cables are long they should be large in size to
maximize signal strength.

Short cables are a good idea. Don't spend more than a dollar per 
foot. Belden digital cable has very low capacitance; Canare, Mogami 
and Gepco are also good.

2008-11-25 Thread Anthony Hind
I doubt whether Mimmo gets them from someone else. He had been  
waiting to find a particular type of gut, so as to be able to make  
these again;
and if I understood correctly, this same gut would allow him to  
improve the very smallest loaded strings, below say, about D-10 on an  
11c lute.
I know Mimmo makes these himself. He is an experimental string maker,  
he is even about to experiment on new types of synthetics.
I think that nylgut had to be made elsewhere under contract from  
Mimmo, because until recently he did not have an extrudor.

What I have understood, is that Univerale makes strings for a number  
of other companies, perhaps Baroco, and La Folia, but don't quote me  
on that.
That does not necessarily mean they are identical, they might be made  
to specification. Therefore if there are strong trebles in all three  
companies,
they may be made by the same company, and I would guess that would be  
Universale.

I am only going from what I have read on Mimmo's pages, and on the  
explanations that he has kindly given me, in particular about his  
research into
loaded strings, and his recent attempts to improve the smallest  
loaded strings.

2008-11-25 Thread Anthony Hind
Dear Martyn and Daniel and all
 I think there may have been a lot of background noise during  
your conversation with Mimmo, and I think I have understood roughly  
the cause of the confusion.

In fact, what Mimmo must have said was that one family of gut string  
makers was providing all these strong strings for Universale, La  
Folia, and Baroco, and that is the Toro Brothers (The Toro family are  
from the city of Salle, province of Pescara in the region of Abruzzo,  
Italy).
This has nothing to at all to do with the strong strings made by  
Mimmo himself..

When Mimmo mentioned 'Toro, you may have understood the related word  
tauro (bull), possibly the meaning of the name. You then perhaps  
thought that Mimmo was referring  to the material from which the  
strings were made:
made from tauro, rather than by Toro.

The Toro brothers use indifferently beef and ram. (perhaps not  
actually ram, possibly mutton, but I am not sure about that. Ram  
strings are brown simply because they do not use peroxides on it,  
while they do use it on the beef gut.

Mimmo's strings are usually semi-rectified, but this may not be the  
case with the Toro brother's strings.
Also Mimmo's strong strings are unvarnished, just oiled. This might  
not be the case with the Toro either.

Perhaps Daniel can enlighten us on this last point, as he is using them.
Best wishes

2008-11-25 Thread Eugene C. Braig IV
Greetings Chris et al.,

I'm working from flawed memory here on an issue that is only somewhat 
related, so please forgive me if I'm only almost right.  I seem to 
recall Strizich assumed reentrant tuning on 5-course guitar (the A 
course in a strings only without bourdon) and expected modern 
guitarists to place a single a on their guitars (in place of the 
ordinary A) in his staff-notation setting of de Visee's guitar 
music.  Unfortunately, I don't believe Strizich was always clear 
regarding where notes should be fingered: along a, g, or b.  He also 
assumed an octave d-d', but I don't recall if he ever notated the 
upper note sounded along the d course.  The result was a score that 
was not really readable on sight, but rather required a little 
preparation and planning to actually turn into music.

I seem to recall some other transcriptions offering higher octaves 
from octave-stung courses in parentheses in addition the fundamental 
as a normal note, and I know of some selective approaches to 
single-note octave selection (either higher or lower, even lower 
octaves where reentrant tuning could be expected) to arrive at 
contiguous line or logical counterpoint where the intended octave is 
unclear or shifts within a passage along an octave-strung course.

Any other approaches or thoughts on their pros and cons?

Best,
Eugene

Eugene

  Hi, all,
  I just checked, and yes, Mr. Ness's old Francesco edition does have
  grand staff, as do all of the old Corpus des Luthistes Francais
  volumes from Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.  (Ballard
  12, Bocquet, Morlaye, etc.)
  Good luck, Guy!
  Best to all, and keep playing,

  There's a lot of guitar transcriptions out there, if guitar 
 staff is OK. If
  you need grand staff, a couple that come immediately to mind are the
  Kanazawa Holborne, and the Ness Francesco volumes (I think 
 Arthur included a
  grand staff version with that edition, but I don't have a copy myself).

  What is a good way to get a quantity of sight-reading material
  in the keys of C, F, and G?  I need modern staff notation (not
  tablature), like modern-day piano music.

 I suspect from my own personal anecdotal evidence, though, that the 
 difficulties of dealing with weather

Wind plays havoc with soft winds and literally blows away the notes of a
lute.

Yet, some instruments are best played outside, like pipes and shalms.

We know that some sacred antiphonal vocal music was performed in plazas.

What is mind boggling is that buskers play in the various subways of the world.


Probably not that different from a wedding reception, and your audience changes 
every 5-10 minutes, so you don't need a huge playlist.

 Hi,
  
 Good question, Eugene.  There is no indication of octave stringing in any 
 staff notation that I know of, just the fundamental note.  

I would assume that the exclusion is simply because the use of octave
stringing is a technical issue that improves the sound of the string,
varys from one instrument to another, and should not be presumed by a
modern editor unless it was discussed in the prefatory material to the
original edition.

Potential splitting of the strings on an octaved course would be a
seperate issue, and reentrant stringing (as on a banjo or maybe a cittern)
would require some thought.  When done as a technical issue (eg, the
string would have been an octave lower had that been feasible) then the
intended pitch should be indicated, but when (as on a modern banjo) the
pitch actually sounded is the pitch musically desired, then that is what
should be indicated, and how it is found on the instrument is then a
challenge to the player. (Yay for tab!)

   Rob,
   I tried this with DT's Bach Dm prelude on You Tube.  I think it may
   have helped a bit, but was not entirely successful.  After I let it
   load and play once thru, I played it again, but found more stuttering.
   Thanks for the thoughts.
