Hi -
I am advising someone about buying a lute. What is the
collective wisdom on Shiro Arai's work, from 1977. An
Aria lute. This appears to still have the heavy lute
style pegbox and crude rosette. Would this be a
60's style heavy lute, or a light post '75 lute?

Dear All,
I'm wondering if anyone has done/knows of a translation of the preface of Le
Sage de Richee's Cabinet der Lauten into English.
If not, and if there are any German speakers out there who might be willing to
do one, I might well be able to email them a good quality digicam version of
Mathias probably has one :-)
If not, I might volunteer.

I don't think he actually mentions it but the instruments he discusses are
all played with a plectrum. But bowed instruments don't always have
waists..the rebec for example...

Benjamin,
Yes, indeed; it is available. Stephan Lundgren published a book, The
Baroque Lute Companion, in 1993 in his series of Lungren Editions,
Munchen. This is a comprehensive book, and is a modern tutor for technique
playing, and it has many, many musical examples.
As well, in this
I used to have one. It was fairly light to compare it to a Bream
style galut,e but not as light as my current Venere copy. Mine was
from around 1984, I think, so it may have evolved somewhat from the
77 model. What looked like spacers between ribs were actually pin
stripes painted on.

There is an article in the 1976 Journal of the Lute Society of America
entitled, How Beginners Should Proceed: the Lute Instructions of Lesage De
Richee. The translation of instructions is not actually from Cabinet der
Lauten, but from a manuscript (mf 2002) in the University Library in
Suppose your humidity goes down to the 30-40% range.
Might one, in an effort to maintain humidity within
the lute, safely blow into the soundhole once an hour
or so?

Well, I don't think the lute will slap your face, if that's what

suppose these could also be used for a Lute. Also tabaco shops sell similar
devices for cigar and pipe tobaco, these too should work. Blowing into the
