I was wondering if anyone has a facsimile of the first Haulberroys
original Attaingnant edition from 1530. I have only been able to get
Daniel Heartz's transcribed edition and I have some question about the
right hand fingering given (bars 2 - 3). It looks as though there may
be a misprint, e
Dear Jaroslav,
It's unlikely to be glue. It should be a little ivory peg like you get
at the tail end of the lute for fitting a strap. You tie the gut tight
between the two pegs, so that the gut lies flush with the ribs.
All the best,
Stewart.

Dear Dana,
The reproduction doesn't show that detail particularly well because that
area is very dark, but as far as I can remember it from the museum, the book
stands on the table covered with some black fabric, and leaning against the
basoon with the top end.
Best wishes

BTW, am I right that the gut is fixed with some glue near the neck (white
spot)?

Dear Jaroslav,
You hook the gut on to one of the button
Dear Stewart,
I hope they had better clothes than us and well stiched buttons to withstand
the theorbo weight.
No, but seriously.Thanks a lot for a good tip! Now I remember reading it
some time ago, however the loop seems to be too big for just one button.
Best wishes

Dear Jaroslav,
You hook the gut on to one of the buttons of your coat to stabilise the
lute while you are holding it. I seem to remember Mersenne mentioning
it. See also Robert Spencer's article on the theorbo in Early Music. It
is likely that Mouton is holding his lute this way in

Dear Alexander,
In general it is possible, however as a musician I have to say I wouldn't
use a plain gut in between two strings of a different type. As I explained
Anthony, this is not a smooth transition like in the case of Venice string.
We are talking about a bass register, not a transitio

Thanks Alexander, that makes sense.
The simple truth of this 7th string is - it does not have to be
loaded or such. Being the first string to go OFF the neck, it is
almost twice as long as the six courses ON, so to produce an octave
lower then the 4th string, it has to be about the same diam

Oh, I've forgot 2 other interesting details.
The frets are double (except last 2), made of a thin gut with knots on
the treble side.
Both theorbo and the lute on the table has a folded double piece of gut
going in the middle of the back (longside). It starts from the end pin

I snuck a peek at the other stringed instrument in the picture (to the
right, on the side table, partly hidden by music), perhaps a violin or
viola. Curiously thick neck on it. Only the bass string is visible, gave
me the impression of gut.
Hmmm, speaking of that music, it was uprioght, perhaps
It's good to read you again, Jarosław, and with such an
interesting example.
I would not presume to give any answers, just add a question or two.
It would be good to have Mimmo's specialist opinion, on this.
