Thank you for the heads-up, Ed. I just checked and the CD won't be
available in the UK until April 23rd. Pre-ordering is possible
though! Tony is certainly covering the repertoire, isn't he?
Interesting that he uses A70. It's really all you can do when you use
a gut chanterelle
Hi Bill,
This is indeed a fascinating subject (hence the change of heading).
I am told variously that the 1722 Wenger has a string length of 76 or
77cm. It may at some stage have been converted (from a gallichon
perhaps?) to a 13 course lute before the present manifestation as
Dear Martyn,
Thank you for this notice: in fact this CD has been out in Europe for
over a year.
I think you confuse it with some other recording. (Old Gautiers
Nightinghall?)
This one is quite new.

Hi Martyn,
Go to [1]www.spotify.com where you can download the player onto your
computer.
There are then two options - you can go for the free version which has
occasional ads between tracks, or the paid version that is ad-free.
Being a Scotsman I put up with the ads!
Best
Will I be shot down in flames by suggesting you don't use Spotify? The
thing is a massive rip off. The musician gets almost nothing for being
on it. Lady Gaga had over a million plays on it, and received just over
100 dollars. Imagine what Anthony Bailes would receive... Many

Dear Mathias,
Interesting. As said, I don't think any reasonably sized lute is
'wrong': it's more a matter of what might have been generally expected
at the particular time.
My comments relate principally to French lute music of the mid/late
17th century (as on Anthony
the case, too, that even when things are done legally, the artist is at
the end of the queue for picking up their meagre share of the takings.
Artists usually pay to record cds these days. In return they receive a

Dear Anthony Hind!
Anthony Bailes LP recording of 'Pieces de luth'; EMI REFLEXE;
IC 06330938, was my introduction to French baroque lute music.
After that I was hooked.
So was I at the time. All my prejudices were set, and I was sent for a long
way.
I have enjoyed his
Dear Anthony and all,
I also very much enjoy that old recording of AB on EMI Reflexe. A
great, old recording.
Your statement that (although, I imagine that with his 76cm lute
pure gut basses should also work well) is in complete agreement with
my recent experimentation.
As you know, I have
