[LUTE] new bass strings by Aquila corde
Dear friends, here you find a short video with the Toccata VII from the IV book by Kapsberger. I play my unhistorical short theorbo (an instrument measuring 70/117) that I use when I need to travel by plane. The known timbric problem caused by the wounded strings (usually V, VI, VII fretted and XII, XII and XIV bourdons) is here brilliantly solved by the great Mimmo Peruffo (Aquila corde). The theorbo is strung with new nylgut (the whyte/yellow strings) and a new synthetic dark red material for the bass strings. The video is recorded with two cameras; the audio is untouched and is recorded with a pair of Shoeps MK 21 going directly in my Zoom H6. No reverb and equalization are added. The location is my small and dry studio in Cremona. http://youtu.be/E0F0lvPNuJk To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Diego- That is beautiful- Congratulations on the new bass strings. Are they available for purchase yet? (I really could use a few of those- all my 1st generation original Peruffo Loaded guts are gone or useless.) Nothing seems at all too small about that theorbo- at least as seen heard close-up in a utube video. Very good approach as well towards what I would call a Universal Right Hand technique- a click or two either way and it's either thumb-inside enough for early Renaissance, or angled enough for later Baroque playing requirements. I am working on this sort of thing myself, leaning towards more use of thumb-out even for somewhat earlier, but late 16 century stuff like Terzi, Molinaro, Gostena, and even some of Gorzanis. Keep up the fine work... Dan On. 2/6/2015 7:52 AM, Diego Cantalupi wrote: Dear friends, here you find a short video with the Toccata VII from the IV book by Kapsberger.
