Dear Marc, There is an excellent article by Stephen Barber in one of the Lute Society journals from the 1980's about how to make solid moulds -(sorry I don't have the reference to hand, but I will look it up for you later). Stephen Barber and Sandi Harris use solid moulds exclusively for their

Marc, I made mine with a set of templates taken from the plan. I made one template for the cross section length wise and 5 or 6 across. After carving the mould to shape in the proper places, I just planed by eye. The result was quite satisfactory. I do however believe that toast rack moulds and

In addition to the two works including lute in the official catalog, the Attaingnant and Orfeo arrangements, there may be anecdotal evidence for a more elaborate concerto as Joseph Iadone several times described playing a lute concerto to me back in the late 60s, early 70s. Iadone was of course

On the issue of parallels in continuo playing, I think it is a good thing that there is a lot of diversity in continuo realization, and a lot of choices. As far as practical matters, because at a certain point one has to play the stuff, the big issue for me is timing--in a mixed continuo

Sounds fine to me. Regarding timing, lute and harpsichord players often adjust the immediacy of their plucking action by delaying the beat slightly. I've had to do this deliberately on many occasions. For instance, with strings - they start bowing, THEN the note appears. When we pluck, it jumps
