[LUTE] Time to get new frets

2018-01-08 Thread Omer Katzir
Last time I still used the good old gut frets for both my 7 course and 10. And 
because I’m from Israel, there’s not really much to check around and I have to 
order it in bulk and trust my fellow Lutists 

So, which brand and type you recommend this year? 
My only real concern is really the shipment (I will pay premium price for 
premium frets, not going cheap on my lutes!), I require shipment via UPS/FEDex 
etc, never snail mail. 

Thank You and have a great new year and stuff.

[LUTE] I must be getting really old but (da Crema)

2016-07-12 Thread Omer Katzir
   I'm 100% there we tabs of da Crema on Cripps and Gerbode websites, but
   now I can find anything. I'm not sure if I'm getting old or really dumb
   (or both) I do have the facsmile, but again, I'm really sure I
   downloaded some tabs from both websites.
   Please, help me keep myself sane. Or not, don't know what's going on.
   b.t.w.
   Italy is great!

[LUTE] Need some more Italian Baroque

2016-06-25 Thread Omer Katzir
Hi guys, I would like some of your recommendations for Italian Baroque music, 
solo lute, 10 course. I got some Zamboni and M. Galilei but not much for 
others. I pretty much need something like 3-4 pieces of each composer so I can 
get to know his music (can’t really do it with one piece) 

My only two sources for that ATM are from Cripps and Gerbode, cannot purchase 
any facsimile right now due to serious lack of funds. 

Thank You all and have a nice week!

   So , I worked hard to create an arrangement for two flutes, soprano and
   lute in Lilypond, but for myself I want a pure lutetab version which is
   much easier to read. Is there a way to convert it or something or I'll

   I'll just give you an update on the situation. Seems like I had really
   bad luck yesterday, I guess being sick+stressed wasn't really good for
   clear thinking. I guess that's why every single string I used snapped,
   most of these strings were 0.50+, including the frets.
   I've taken off one of the D4 strings and it's fine, I already ordered
   new strings. So I pretty much combined all of the tips you gave me :-P
   Thank again for the help
   and have a merry Christmas!

 There are
 some really nice pieces from the Rettenwert manuscript available on
 my
 Grounds and Divisions web site at

 My other favorite manuscripts are:
 ML Lute Book - it used to be called the Sturt Lute Book and is a

 available on
 Sarge Gerbode's web site at

 Dd.4.22 - also English music with lots of ornaments You can get this
 one
 from the LSA Microfilm Library
 Trinity O.16.2 - More English music with some unusual ornament
 signs. I
 borrowed a digital version from the LSA Microfilm Library

  Guitar - Check
  Renaissance Lute - Check

  Now it is time to put my 10 course into use (until now I just
 played

 pieces

2015-01-27 Thread Omer Katzir
Well, we don't have any good microphone there and there's no budget to
buy any (working on donations) if it was for my personal use, I would
buy a nice condenser.

I'm not really sure what was the problem with the guitar last time, we
have really old gear there, it worked before the concert, and stopped,
haven't check it since...

 I predict that the pickup that you linked to is going to sound
 'tinny', emphasizing the midrange and sounding something like
 playing over the telephone.

 What was it about the microphone that didn't work out for you
 in the past?  Was it feedback problems?  You will want to use
 a decent cardioid condenser rather close to the instrument.
 I can't imagine an omni or dynamic mic doing the job, but a
 good condenser is the best I've found for classical guitar
 where natural sound is the goal.

 If feedback is the problem you could try mixing the mic with a
 contact pickup for some of the best of both worlds.

 Tobiah



 I have an option to buy those pickups with a clip, but I'm not sure
 they'll work. (link attached)

 Ideas are recommendations are welcome.

Hello fellow music lovers around the world,

After a vey successful guitar concert featuring piece from the golden
age I was asked for another concert, this time with my lute. So I've
started to build a program fit to the modern ear, I've already several
pieces (2Xfantasy by Luis Milan, no.1 and 3, tasar de corde by dalza,
etc), I need at least 10 pieces, so I will like to ask your opinion.

Which pieces (not dances and not songs - I can't sing) do you think
will be great for it? The crowd never heard early music before or seen

So, you composed a piece (lets say it’s for lute), you enjoy it so much and 
playing it is like reaching the plains of Elysium.

But you also want others to enjoy this sweet sparkling music. In todays world 
you can just put it online and spread it freely like the joyful wind. Or, you 
can go back in time, bind several of your heavenly pieces together and sell.

Of course, you can always keep it to yourself.

[LUTE] Volta by Ballard

Does anyone have a copy of the Volta in page 90 of Primier Livre (1611) with

I don't have a scanner and my copy is filled with performance notes. 

Need a clean copy of that. I believe it is the fifth volta.

[LUTE] My god...my lute is on strike!

2010-06-08 Thread Omer Katzir
It goes like this,
Yesterday I drove to the other side of the country with my 10c, she never goes 
out unless i'm going to a lesson, and it was hot day, very hot day. 
First I wanted to tune, and *SNAP* first string snapped right on my face. Lucky 
for me, I had two more strings with me, so I tried to replace it. But, my lute 
didn't wanted to...
these strings also snapped and the peg gave me hard time spinning it. Finally 
we gave up and played on Levi's lute (which is also 10c, but much different 
then mine)

I said ok, she might need some rest, so I wanted to replace that string today, 
and give her a rest until tomorrow. But no! she still don't want the string on 
her, snapped again, right into my eye!
The  heat, and the cold also changed my frets, which is bad...but I can handle 
the frets. I can't handle to be stringless. 

Any suggestions on how to solve the strike?

[LUTE] Re: New frets

2010-02-17 Thread Omer Katzir
I'm also going to buy new frets, but i still don't know which diameter to take 
now i use 0.95-85-75-65 on my 10c and 85-75-65-55 on my 7c. But i think they 
are not too thick for my taste.

So in fact I have two questions about it (think I already asked, but I can't 
remember my own name today :-P ) 
1. Moving to thicker frets need any special preparation? I think I will go for 
110,100,95,80 for 10c  and 100, 90, 80, 70 for 7c. 
2. well...after remembering it, i don't have second question...

 You can also tighten loose frets by doing a similar thing: pull the fret

 Subject: [LUTE] Re: New frets
 
 Something you can do to improve worn frets if you're short on time:  loosen
 the fret a little by sliding it toward the nut, then turn it slightly on the
 neck so the worn parts are between courses.  Slide it back to pitch.

1. how often do you replace a gut fret? (on my 10c they still new, on

2. Do you use different fret sizes on different frets or doing

I replaced the ones that came on the instrument when I bought it used,
that was 6 years ago.  Not playing it much these days tho.

graduated, this is not my preference, it is what the neck angle

Each insturment will be different as to what it needs.

[LUTE] Re: Edward Martin/who knows?

2009-08-26 Thread Omer Katzir

I Edward, sorry all for the late response.

There are few things bothering me with the interpretation,

One, it's a technical issue, but there are too many clicks and  
ticks might be bad recording or something, I don't know if you have  
other recording with the same issue.


Second, the interpretation itself. In his book, Milan did not write  
any repeat signs  in the piece. And there is no reason to repeat the  
whole piece again. It doesn't make any sense to repeat something you  
shouldn't.
Also, A fantasy should tell a story, and with every note sound the  
same as the previous one, it sound more like a dry dance then a fantasy.
Finally, you play too many Arpeggios, it is true Milan doesn't write  
anything about that in Fantasy I, but this tool should use in proper  
places, just using them too much will make it sound like a student  
recording.


I guess you learned a lot during those seven years , and as you said  
your self, you will probably play it differently. For me, it sounds  
like something by sting.


Hope you're not felling bad and I guess you probably looking for  
feedbacks like mine.


Thank you,
Omer

  very significant increase in the distance required to depress a

 The projection of the string is determined by the height of the  
nut

  and
 the holes in the bridge.  If the neck has a set or slight warp,
  thicker
 frets will be called for and that thickness will be determined by
  the
 projection of the strings.
 I used to use much thinner frets but as Dan Winheld has noted,  
there

  is
 no drawback whatever to using thicker frets.
 Cordially,
 Damian
 Why don't you try a much thinner 9th fret (say 0.50mm) which not
  only
 fits with Dowland's fretting advice (the principal historic  
source

  of
 fret sizes) but would also enable you to have smaller lower  
frets,

  say
 down to 0.90mm and thereby set the lute 'fine'?

 Using the thinnest frets that you can get away with is a basic
 premise for fretting, but there are many lutes where the neck has
  set
 (but hopefully not twisted)
 where heavy frets are called for.  My baroque lute represents  
just

  such
 an instance where everything is fine except that much thicker  
frets

  are
 called for and more
 care in selecting sizes to taper up to the 10th fret.  Here is  
the

  fret
 scheme for my lute:
 frets
 1,2,3   1.25 mm
 4,5   1.20 
 6  1.10 
 7  1.05 
 8  1.00 
 9   .95  
 10 .85  
 So if you find you need heavier frets, do not be alarmed.  My  
lute

 plays beautifully, there is no undue wear on the strings on the
  finger
 board,
 and everything is in tune.  You may have to invest in some fret  
gut,

 but like tuning, it's part of the job.

Dana- this seems like excellent advice  cautions in regard to

  nylon

frets. In line with that, I would also advise noting what the neck
and fingerboard are made of- ebony fingerboard with ebony veneered
neck would seem to be best; in any case the hardest, toughest

  woods

possible would be in order.
Anything else, especially if the lute is of some value, could be
counter productive so why not go with the easier, safer, and in

  any

case better sounding traditional alternative?

That said, I would also advise the thinnest frets that you could

  get

away with. Dowland's advice seems appropriate here; he starts with
4th course for the first two frets (.85 - .90 mm), next two of 3rd
course size, (.70-ish) 5th  6th fret, 2nd course; and the rest
trebles.

Also single frets would be best; while the traditional doubles are
rarely used by modern lutenists anyway, only gut doubles will bed
down properly for cleanest sound. Attempting to get enough

  tension

for tightness, and for the fret to lie flat near the fingerboard
edges at the first fret position with 1.15 nylon would take two
gorillas with vice grip pliers. And a titanium neck with carbon
fingerboard.

Dan



Nylon can be made to work, but it even more of a pain in the

 proverbial

than gut.  It is stronger than most neck woods and will leave an
indentation; some like that, it marks where the fret goes. Others

 dislike

2009-02-25 Thread Omer Katzir
My dear friend, it actually seems that DR, and other friends missed  
the whole point. I never asked for someone to look pieces for me, I  
only asked for recommendation for pieces that can be found in Serge's  
and Wayne's websites.


Unfortunately to me, I don't have libraries to get information from,  
the nearest library with early music is in Italy (maybe I can find  
something in Egypt or Turkey), my main source of information is my  
teacher, but he can't keep every piece of music ever written, I take  
from him almost every thing I can to study. What I can't take from  
him, I usually take from both sites, and If I can't find there, so I'm  
looking in few editions to buy, and I buy when I can.


Some folks here plays many years, and I figured they have some  
recommendation for pieces. And if someone will ask me for some six- 
course german music, I will recommend instead of attacking him.

Omer, it is obvious that english is not your first language.
DR's reply was remarkably polite, if a bit abrupt.

Your counter was not only downright rude, but also inapropriate.

To my knowledge three is no index of Lute sources which lists 7c  
pieces,

much of the material published after 1500 is for either 6 or 7c
instruments.  Note that anything for a 6c instrument is playable on  
a 7c.

[LUTE] Temperaments: The Final Night

2008-11-07 Thread Omer katzir
   so today, after much sitting, reading, thinking and petting my cats I
   have decided. 1/4 comma is my new temperament.

   First i took my lute out of her nice bed, few strings jumped from the
   drastic temperature changes here in the last few days. With a nice A4
   piece of paper and a pencil, I marked the current fret locations from
   the nut to the body (I have not included the frets on the body, I can't
   change them anyway...)

   and used the other side of the paper to mark the 1/4 comma fret
   locations, i used LSA paper and my own calculator to make sure there
   are no errors.

   Then I had to move the frets, my frets are old and i really need to
   replace them, soon my darling... most of them move easily to their new
   home, the last fret was my biggest problem and i had to put a piece of
   paper in the back so it will stay tight (still need to work on it
   more accurately)

   after solving every error, and rechecking the fret locations, it was
   time to tune the strings.

   I used [1]this paper to get the numbers, after tuning, i checked the
   tune again with my ears and made some fine tuning to the frets.

   Finally it was time to play, and may the great cat bless me, most of
   the pieces sounded much better! dowland, was the worst, i hate him
   anyway... Milan, Milano, Newsidler, Dalza, Campion and some anon
   sounded like the sweet meow of a just born cat. dowland, as i said
   before, sounded like all dying whale in chernobyl. Even my
   first fantasy (not published yet) sounded much better then in ET.

   After few hours of playing (not sure how much, only my student stopped
   me from playing more) I put the lute back in her place. I
   have decided not to use tastini fret for now and just go with the
   music, had no problems with that at all for now. i really wish i could
   replace the frets, but i cannot do it right now (I've ordered new gut,
   wonder if i can just use an old nylon string... anyone?)

   For now, Omer is happy. I'm going to try few more temperaments (well,
   only two more, 1/6 and 1/8)

   and I might even create a new temperament with pure tritons running all
   over the place and screaming for the great cat to help them. but don't
   mind that now...

   My plans for the future: Electric guitar with moveable frets, I think
   it's time to kill ET forever!

   And of course, I couldn't do it with out you guys (and girls...if any),

2008-11-06 Thread Omer katzir
If anyone here ever tuned to unequal temperament without tastini,  
please write your experience. (or even quotes from early fretted  
players)
I will start my testing tomorrow, but i will still like to read what  
other people done.


and of course...the other way around. how you handled the new little  
fret, how you know when to press on the correct position with it.


I know my own testing will be much better, but i also wonder how...  
lets stayF. Milano tuned his lute :-D, I'm really looking for the  
pure tunes offered by other temperaments but i don't want to play  
wrong


I play renaissance music, and medieval, sometimes i go to the early  
Baroque, but not later. And its a new experience for me, I'm actually  
excited...

I don't know about Aron's Meantine, but Pythagorean temperament
without tastini shouldn't be too much of a problem. The single line
music you are likely to play will allow for refingering the offending
notes somewehere else on the fingerboard.

Anyway, the best way to find out is to try and judge for yourself.

[LUTE] Temperaments, the second night

2008-11-05 Thread Omer katzir

Sound like horror movie?

OK, now that i've decided on my Temperament, one final question should  
be asked.
what about the strings tuning? I guess it wont be the same as in equal  
temperament.
For now i have three temperaments to play with, i have the sheets and  
the frets ready for abuse.


but the tuning of the strings, is my final question.

now, going back to playing :-)

Obviously. When for example you set your third fret higher, and keep
the a' at the same pitch, the c on the third course, third fret will
be higher. You will have to adjust the open fifth course to that
pitch. Tune the fifth course up, then. c. ad infinitum.

Well meant advice: start with something regular like mean tone or
Pythagorean first, as they require less compromise and give a good
result much easier. And another advice: don't play just any music with
any temperament. Pythagorean is great fro Trecento music, but not for
Bach. 1/4 MT is great for Monteverdi, but not for Weiss. These are
historical temperaments, but can sound hysterical when applied
inappropriately.

[LUTE] My first true lute video

2008-11-02 Thread Omer katzir

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VIAoo1V-8w

I tuned the lute with the new super duper tuner, It is still slightly  
out of tune (if you can notice it), but still much better then my old  
tuner. It is my first true video recording so I'm little excited.


No manipulation were done on the file.

You can also see other videos i recorded with my guitars, but i  
haven't touched it for two years (beside teaching).


I will appreciate any building comment (YOU SUCK means nothing for  
me, i know i suck...), any recording suggestions, and even how to  
clean my very small apartment :-D (lucky for you, you can't see the

[LUTE] Tune the tuna - Part II

2008-10-28 Thread Omer katzir
So, few days ego (i think it was Sunday, not what day it is today...)  
I received the Super Duper Sonic Tuner as some of you recommended.


A great tuner, but I really need tips to use it, I'm still used to my  
old needle tuner, I always used them and now all the flashing lights  
confusing me. I read the instruction manual, it is great becuase now I  
know how to change temperaments, cents, save, delete, backlight etc.
But I'm not really sure how to tune, the manual fails to explain it  
(at least for me) in nice and clear way.


For now i don't care about flats and sharps, I just want it to tune,  
when I'll get used to it, I'll think some more. But how, in the name  
of the great Henry the VIII, I know if my string is tuned? So any one  
with this nice tuner (and it really nice) please help me.


The second part of my tuning trilogy goes to the temperament. I have  
decided 1/6 Comma for my first test. according to LSA i need Tastino  
which i guess supposed to be an extra fret (had little time to read)  
and i don't have one for now, I only have the frets already on my  
lute, i can try other temperament that not requires it, like the  
Mersenne's Spinet #1, Kepler #2 but from what i see, they are...  
different from what i want to try. so again, suggestions will be  
gladly excepted.
Other problem i have, are the 10th-12th frets, they are on the lute  
body, how should i handle that problem?


My lute is a 7c, 61cm and it is now tuned to Equal Temperament, I have  
9 frets on the neck and three more on the body.


Thank you again and again

   On the Finale list we say RTFM, which stands for Read the Finale

   Press Alt-Clear (to put it in default setting).
   Press Chromatic Button (Puts it in Chromatic Mode).

   Display should read:
   D4 (or whatever other note)
   Chromatic   Auto
   Pluck string.
   The display will display the closest pitch it's hearing.
   Tune up or down till you reach your desired pitch.
   If the red lights turn with the clock, you're too high.
   If the red lights turn against the clock, you're too low.
   If you want 415Hz in stead of the default 440Hz:
   Press Alt-A440 Change.
   Press Note+ to move up by Hz.
   Press Note- to move down by Hz.
   Press Cents+ to move up by cents.
   Press Cents- to move down by cents.
   Finish with Alt.
   Display will now show:
   D4  A415,0
   Chromatic   Auto
   Should be straightforward. For other settings: RTFM. ;-)

[LUTE] Re: Tune the tuna - Part II

2008-10-28 Thread Omer katzir
I have decided to try Just tuning first, still few questions  
remains. lets go back to the tuner:


I'm in a very noisy environment sometimes (there's a kindergarden few  
steps from here...), how i can see visually if I'm tuned? (ST-122 just  
to remind) that's it, then i'm fixed (already have set it up manually  
for my lute)


Now back to the temperament, I'm going to try more then one. I might  
even try dowland's temperament.


First, With what to make the Tastino? I do not want it to be  
permanent. tape is good, but how large should i make it? long like a  
fret? or smaller like... mother of pearl in my SG's neck? (like the  
picture one of the David's brought here), how thick, how long, etc...  
please remember, this is my first attempt with other temperaments.


Second, What about the frets on the lute body? there are three. I  
guess there is some trick with that...


Before I touch the lute, i want to know much more on the technicality,  
I don't want to cause damage.


Thanks again
Omer

It can be difficult to remove after a few months, but I don't

On the contrary, some of my lutes are permanently in some form of MT,
so the bits of fret-with-masking-tape only get removed for jobs
requiring ET. So far no sticky fingerboards. A friend used the
'invisible' scotch tape. Looked better, perhaps, but it was a serious

I'm still looking for a new shiny tuner, my old one...well, old.

long time ago Korg had the OT-12 (i think it was 12) tuner, a nice  
tuner, memory, all kind of neat stuff. my friend has it and she's  
using it to tune her viol.


now, Korg have only the OT-120, no memory, few presets. but again, no

in the older model and i really don't want to use automatic tuning, i  
want to hear the sound, like in the old days when i was young and  
stupid.


any way now... i really need a new tuner. so any suggestions for a

out of favor early in the 17th c.


I see your point that many rhapsodic bits could be considered as
fantasy
in spite of title, and that the term was perhaps not so commonly used
later
as it was in the era when purely instrumental music first began moving
away
from dance forms, but I'm not so certain I would contend that the term
fell
out of favor in the early 17th c; fantasy, fantasia, phantasie,
phantasiestücke, etc. found occasional use throughout. Consider the
occasional lute works by Weiss or Kellner; the fortepiano works of
C.P.E.
Bach, Mozart, or Schumann; the guitar works by Sor, Coste, Legnani,
etc.  They're there.

Best,
Eugene
