Thanks to all with your help in identifying the piece. If you at home guessed
Rondo in D, K. 485, you win! The thing that threw me off in finding this piece
was that Mozart used a different rhythmic notation in the first measure from
Carulli - I must have flipped right past it in haste. He
Monsieur Mathias,
Nothing to it. I don't know exactly how accurate my tuner is and I frankly
don't care as long as it's in the ballpark. I never just go by the tuner;
there's always some degree of adjustment by ear so technically I'm never
strictly playing in any temperament. This is
Mathias,
No need to get testy. Ich äffe Sie nicht. I use my tuner to get my open
strings and frets about right in Kirnberger III, then I adjust slightly
according to what sounds good to my ear. What on earth would be funny about
that?

I've found that Kirnberger III works pretty well. I used it for a while
although I'm back to ET nowadays.

Howard,
In the Rosani Lutebook there is an anonymous sonata in D minor that has a
Minuetto with a Variazione. The minuet just says Minuetto, while the
variation, filled with faster note values, is labeled un poco moderato. This
could be taken to imply that some sort of tempo slowing was
Chris,
More lefties: I just remembered the oud and rebec players from the
Cantigas de Santa Maria. Both fellows are playing left-handed so maybe this
was somehow flipped as well. But why/how? I'm sure the camera obscura wasn't
in use then. It can be seen here:

I don't know whether its a modern practice. Absence
of written evidence may mean that it was done so often

Even with modern strings, I'm becoming convinced that
we fixate on it a little too much. It is much more
obvious for the player than for the listener.
Hello Fonts of Wisdom,
I'm wanting to do some experimenting with
different bass strings for my bass rider 13-course.
Does anyone have experience using harp strings?
I've noticed that Bow Brand has gut strings for around
$20 a piece. If this even works, its not terribly
cheap, but
Henk,
At the end of the third movement rondo from
Sonata II by Friedrick Wilhelm Rust(?) in Krakow 40150
there are two short passages written with all open
strings marked all'8va. These passages are followed
by loco when fretted notes re-appear. This is not
absolute proof of harmonics,
Sterling and Roman,
Those passages in Hagen in which a melodic line is
passed from the 5th to the 6th course sometimes
consist of just a note or two on the 6th course. At a
slow tempo, one may be able to alter his or her
technique so that just the lower string of the course
sounds. When
