I studied building with Lundeberg for 5 years and found his methods sound
and practical, if a bit fussy. Since then experience has tempered the fussy
aspects and smoothed my own techniques to be not quite so anal. It is, in
all, a more comfortable way to work. I've not audited the Van Edwards

For me the simple answer is:

Unless sombody knows another source with a more precise notation of the

I think the dot on the left of the crotchet means that it takes some
value from the preceding tactus. It could be: minim - 3semiquavers -
1semiquaver tied to the crotchet. or: minim - semiquavers triplet -
dotted crotchet. The first seems to sound more natural.

According to Mimmo Peruffo, his new loaded strings would be more
stable to temperature and humidity influences even than synthetics.
I imagine this could be due to the loading by a sort of tanning
process. Perhaps the oxide? covering protects the string.

Simple but time consuming: play the video and capture the sound with

I agree. The best way to learn how to make a lute is to make a
lute. And then make another. I'm on my fifth, and looking back at
the previous four I can see a steady progression as I got comfortable
with the process and developed my skills. I'm hoping I'll see more

Thanks for the note, Danny.
I am not one to criticize synthetic strings, as I use them too on my Venere

choices. Somne of the best recordings of lute music have been recorded in
synthetic strings. For me, I sound best
Dear Denys,
I think it was about the time of the Utrecht lute conference
where mention was made of Mrs. Minkoff's practice of retouching
her facsimiles. She attended and took Bob Spencer's criticism at
one of the sessions with typical good humor. The Minkoff
facsimile first dates from 1978.
The whole oratorio, Il Sacrifizio di Abramo, was recorded by Weser-

soprano; Ralf Popken, alto; Jan Stromberg, tenor, and most
importantly, Thomas Ihlenfeldt on archlute. Classic Produktion

If it is indeed a properly formatted DVD, you can use VobEdit to demux the

You can then convert the .ac3 to whatever format you like (.wav, .mp3) with
BeLight/BeSweet. These are free programs. Not sure if they are

Normally, the audio either compressed into the MPEG or on a separate
