[LUTE] 5c guitar case recommendation

2019-03-15 Thread Lucas Harris
   Hello, friends,


   Looking for recommendations for cases for a couple of Baroque guitars.
   These are (flat-backed) student models now being made in Wilma van
   Berkel’s shop in London, ON, so we’re looking for something more
   affordable than top-tier custom cases but of decent quality that will
   protect the instruments in the various Canadian seasons.


   Any recommendations appreciated, whether it might be standard cases for
   other kinds of guitars that can be adapted or reasonably-priced custom
   case makers.


   Cheers,


   Lucas

[LUTE] 5c

2014-04-19 Thread Rob MacKillop
Hi folks. I just got hold of a very fine 5c lute made by Bill Samson, and have 
just spent half an hour reading through the pieces on Timo Peedu's Ning lute 
page: http://lutegroup.ning.com/profile/TimoPeedu

I'm wondering what one does with a 5c. I used to have one twenty years ago, and 
just made up stuff, and played single note voice parts with a harpist playing 
one or two other lines, working from vocal music. 

But I haven't played a 5c for nearly two decades, and I'm sure there must have 
been a lot of research done in that time. Hopefully someone here can get me up 
to speed on all things 5c...

It is tuned to f sharp (440 pitch) but could go up to g quite easily.
