I received the Super Duper Sonic Tuner as some of you recommended.
A great tuner, but I really need tips to use it, I'm still used to my
old needle tuner, I always used them and now all the flashing lights

Tuning with sound trains your ear, and therefore trains your musical abilities.
Get a tuner that plays sounds, and tune unisons (or other intervals,
if you wish).
When your ear is trained, you will then know for sure if the lute is
in tune; no box required :)
The visual tuner is useful for

I just heard a fellow playing a baroque guitar solo on the radio. It
was something called Arpegiatt and Canarios, by Kapsberger. The
Canarios sounded rather similar to the modern piano piece, Farewell to

The Turbo tuner works very well for me, when the lute is
already quite well tuned.
I have preset the open strings, so I go into open tuning, and I set
it to the auto mod.
I tend not to look directly at the strobe, but slightly to the
side. If it turns to the left, it is

Hi,
a number of nice dances written by Santino Garsi were also included
by Vincenzo Galilei in his Libro d'Intavolatura di Liuto. The
manuscript didn't make it to print, but is available at the Biblioteca
Centrale Nazionale in Florence.
S.P.E.S published a fac-simile of it back in 1992.

There is a you tube film of how to use this, explaining the
strobe pattern. I hope this is useful.

Rob,
Thanks for the thoughts. I thought this might be right up your alley.
As you see, Arto knew the one I had heard. That said, I'll eventually
track down the piano piece and try to make a version for my own use.
I'll let you know if I have some success.
Best,

Don't forget that David is using historical strings, so that the
highest tension (17 kg) is on the treble end, and the lowest
(.007Kg) is on the bass, hence his nickname David 007

There is no easy answer. You can play colla parte, or course, the
ultimate challenge for any lute music, or double the lower voices, or
you can just figure it. If it is a later Baroque piece, there will

Thanks for these editions and recordings. I've loved the Aria and Corrente
