[LUTE] Re: Lute + recorder
I have asked for music for lute and recorder in the past. And some people have very kindly sent arrangements that they have made or collected from others. There must be ready-to-go lute and recorder pieces somewhere online. Sometimes in the arrangements (made by enthusiasts today), the lute has much more work to do than the recorder. For an average lute player and an average recorder player this is not good (in my opinion, of course). I think that lively recorder parts with simple lute accompaniments are likely to be most effective. On 17 August 2019, at 23:16, "Frank A.

At least one of the solo sonatas are available online with tabs. If you play continuo, this is no problem anyway. The Bass line is pretty self explanatory. If you like older stuff: Pierre Attaignant's Tres Breve et familiere introduction with Chanson melodies is nice and easy to play.

I remember reading a conjecture that the stump might have been a bandora/orpharion sort of instrument along with the penorcon.

New Grove: An English plucked instrument of the early 17th century. It is known only by name and by one surviving piece of music (GB-Och Mus.532), headed ���Alman R. Johnson to the stump by F.P.��� (ed. A. Sundermann, Robert Johnson: Complete Works for Solo Lute, London, 1972). This is written in six-line French tablature and shows that the stump had seven fingered string courses tuned like a Renaissance lute, with eight extra bass diapasons.

[LUTE] Re: Nigel's Francesco vol 2
My knowledge of instrument making is limited but lute and vihuela construction are somewhat different. Obviously the body shape is different but a lute has a very thin soundboard with a fairly complicated barring system. According to Alfonso Marin the vihuela has just two bars and a thicker soundboard (maybe 3mms in places). It might be expected that there would be some audible difference in sound.

Some of these seem ignorant of what period instruments actually sound like in the flesh and seek their own subjective recording 'balance' and tonal qualities.
