[LUTE] Re: Instrument Buzz
Edward: When did you start to notice the buzz? Was it always present as long as you have owned the instrument? Did it appear suddenly out of nowhere? Have you changed a string lately, and that is when the buzz started?

[LUTE] Re: Vincent Dumestre's theorbo?
Dear Éric, The issue with these instruments d'après tableaux de Watteau offered under the name "théorbe de pièces ou angélique" is that they have eight strings on their fretboards. The instrument in Watteau's La Finette has even less, viz. six strings. Surviving music for the angélique requires ten strings on the fretboard so that the 9th and 10th strings may be fretted (1st fret on the 10th [C#], and 4th fret on the 9th [F#], strings, frequently). Both instruments built d'après tableaux de Watteau may pass as true théorbes des pieces, but not as angéliques IMHO.

[LUTE] Instrument Buzz
Hi everyone, A bit of buzz is driving me crazy. I have a renaissance guitar and there’s a buzz that starts with the plucked note and dies down quite quickly. I’ve checked the bridge for any loose bits of string - nothing. I’ve checked the pegbox/peghead for loose buzzy strings - nothing. No possibility of frets being too high and buzzing, as the buzzing happens at all notes at all positions. I’m hoping it’s not something beneath the soundboard that’s loose and causing the buzz. It doesn’t buzz when the instrument is flat, with the rose facing up. It buzzes when the instrument is in a playing position - with the rose facing sideways. It buzzes with the rose facing down. I’m on the verge of having this sent to the nearest luthier, but have a performance coming up. I just hope the audience won’t be able to hear the subtle buzz, as we’re not being amplified… Best, Edward To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Re: decent field recorder for lute
Thank you! The new H4n Pro seems to have the preamps of the H6 - so the noise might be lower. Damn, this is really a hard decision... If semi-pro home recording is easy with this thing, it's definitely a pro. Anyone have the Tascam DR-07x? Since it is Mac OS compatible, Linux is probably working too. On 20.05.19 15:05, Konstantin Shchenikov wrote: I own an old H4n and did a lot of recordings on that thing. Regarding your last question, Tristan: yes, one can use it as a USB sound processing device. When you connect it via USB, it let you choose a mode: storage (copy files only, not recharge a battery, I'm afraid) or as Input/Output interface for your computer. In second mode you can use it as sound card and record directly to computer. I use it different ways: as a live recorder, as a sound card, as a 'home studio' device and it works fine all the time. Fast connection, clear menu with simple navigation. Comparing preamps with zoom h6 and other similar I can say, old H4 sounds more 'bassy' what makes interesting effect on the lute (nice attack on unwound basses on archlute). And a tiny bit more noissy also, but it's not a problem if you set the gain accurately. And experimenting with some effects (dinamique eq, band compression) it can makes nice results. Very good and comfortable device for any kind of home/field work.
