i'm waiting for a renaissance lute 8c to arrive but in the meantime made this

In case someone may like to make something similar (like you have these many

Caroline,
I had a similar experience with wound 4th courses breaking, one towards
the bridge side, the other in the middle. I believe the small diameter
of the wound course (0.48 mm) is responsible for the short lifespan.
I'd recommend using a plain gut or carbon string for the 4th course.

Dear lutenists,
I just got a gig, where one soprano and I should perform some
4-5 Christmas pieces. It could be some renaissance (with my 6 course)
or some baroque (10-course or theorbo). The singer is quite advanced,
she has even performed the Queen of the Night -aria (is the name like that

Hahah, Craig was probably kidding, but I did see "The Mikado" in Venice last
year at the PalaFe

Thanks to all who pointed out things for me to see in Roma. I had a lovely
time.
Bill Kilpatrick, the Museo Nazionale Strumenti Musicali was delightful,
though I was a bit taken aback at how they kept many of the larger keyboard

You might try making a series of section templates as if you sliced the bowl
crossways in several places. It is also helpful to make duplicates of these and
cut them in halves (or thirds or quarters, whatever is convenient) as the full
template may not be much help until you are pretty close
Dear friends,
I'll be performing a small vihuela recital in London, in which I'll play
pieces by Francesco, Narváez, and some other composers.
I'd be happy to see some of you there.

Dear All,
following recent emails about the Mary Burwell Lute book, I tried to get a
copy from Severinus Editions. I received the following answer from
Severinus. I have also heard from Ruxbury Publications who are currently
setting up binding facilities but will be processing orders shortly. I do

Mimmo Peruffo has asked me to forward this message to the list - I haven't
read all of it myself yet, but I think it will provoke some interesting
discussion.
Best wishes,

Taco,
I think you confuse the matter of the choice of the a' frequency and the
size of the instrument. The choice of the basic frequency for a' has more to
do with whom you are playing than the specific instrument. Pitch is relative
and doesn't matter, except when you are playing with other instru

You ruined my planned good advice. I watched Ronn McFalane's student all
putting that 'bit of cloth' on their laps and wondered what it was (realized
that it was a bit of friction). So went to Sears and saw giant pieces of
artificial shammy (chamois) for more than I wanted to pay. So
