Hello Paolo, There were two Telemann partitas (in G and e) in a manuscript auctioned in 1928, from the famous Musikbibliothek of Dr. Werner Wolffheim in Berlin. There were over 4000 items, and it took a week to auction everything. Its lute treasures included Dresden/Weiss. Item 64 was a lu

If the 18thC Mandora/Gallichon was the ancestor of the VW 'laute', perhaps this instrument represents some sort of arch-mandora ancestory? Against that, I would have expected single strings (ie more like a 19thC 'Bass' lute). Perhaps more likely, but still speculative, the instrument

Leonard, That 45 to 40% works for me. The manufacturer of the humidifier pod I use also suggests that. I start to notice that the octives on the low basses start to drift, and the pegs begin to loosen as the lute dries out. At 45%, I water every 2 or 3 days, below 40% I water daily. This is preve
