[LUTE] Welde ms question
Dear Nancy, The Welde lute book was never part of Robert Spencer's collection. He discovered the manuscript and wrote about it in the Lute Society Journal. As far as I know, the book is still owned by the family. When I went to the house at Willey Park to photograph the book with John Robinson and Ian Harwood, we met old Lord Forester shuffling around in his bedroom slippers. I offered to play him some of the music in his book, but he declined, saying gruffly, "No. I'm not a musician." Sad. I believe he has since died, but I don't know exactly who has become the new owner. I don't think the book has a reference number.

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: help please!
If only the 4th course is causing a problem then I would certainly suspect the distance between the two strings as 3.7 is very close (4.5 would be a safer option). You could have new holes drilled by a luthier. Obviously the thickness of the strings and tensions are other factors to take into account, so if you are using gut or nylgut then maybe you could try PVF strings which will be thinner because they have a higher density. You could also experiment with increased tension (but this will mean a slightly thicker string so probably self-defeating!).
