Anthony,
Talking about the proper choice of strings for the lute can be very
difficult. It is a very personal thing. We try to find historical evidence,
but we struggle to make our instruments to sound best as well. As far as the
historical data is concerned we can come to some conclusions.

Anthony, I read Mimmo's text carefully twice; (halfheimers, the
brain glass is still half full) so I remember the different nuances
of the different string specs applications- no false impressions
created.
Dan, I am sure many people did, but

Yes it is too silly, but the window opens with a video and there is a

Hello David and Taco
I'm not an expert on lute building, but if I made correct
observations, the arciliuto romano has NOT a theorbo body. They are
rounder and much deeper:
Martinus Harz 1665 (Edinburgh): 43 ribs, belly 53.1x36x17 cm, string
legths 67.3*/143.8 *= the neck was shortened;
On Friday 07 December 2007 12:01, LGS-Europe rattled on the keyboard:
Ivo and Lynda write that a regional instrument was invented from the
1660 instead of the theorbo: the arciliuto romana in g (without re-
entrant tuning) with a string length on the petit jeu of 71-73 cm
(a'= around 380-386
What a pleasure it is to participate in a list with such people. We have
three approaches to the forming of a lute body. We have three experts
advocating their own approach (two of them the primary sources, David and
Dan - and the third a student of the late Bob L.), and we have no argument.

Dear Arto
I find my older lutes still improving, like good wines. The young ones still
have much to learn and need to grow. So don't sell your older Barbers yet,
if only because they might fetch a higher price when still older! ;-)

Dear lutenists,
I just found out that all my lutes seem to be quite old - from 1986 -
2003. The earlier ones were mainly made by S. Barber, see

Should I think the knowledge and skill of making lutes today is much
better? Especially Stephen,
I believe both Doni and Mersenne wrote that pitch in Rome was
considerably lower than in Northern Italy, though I'm afraid I'm no
use at all in citing those sources.
Thank you for this. I'm not sure where Andreas gets his
information about Rome pitch

Did churches 'own' large lutes, like baroque opera houses had their own
theorboes? If so, a pair of 70-odd cm archlutes would

They are usually written as arabic numbers: 7, 8, 9 often with x for

Arto,
Just because the lutes are old does not mean they are not good. I have an
old 10 course lute by James Mackie, 1980, and it is very nice. I also have
a 13 course Burkholtzer by Richard Berg, 1984, and it is one of the finest
sounding baroque lutes imaginable.

As much as I love Sibelius, the Tab is is a drag.
Export to midi, and pick it up in Fronimo!

If the Rauwolf is a key to the question, David is right, and old
wood seems to go on improving. I was told that flat soundboard
instruments can suddenly die, but the Rauwolf's soundboard is a few
hundred years old. They can also be resound-boarded if there is a
problem, of course,
