Hi all, Would anyone be willing to send me a scan of the first two pages of Corbetta's Sinfonia in C major (the one that starts with the 1950's doowop progression) for guitar and continuo? I believe the piece begins on page 77, but somehow I only have from 79 on. ...or if you know of

[LUTE] geared pegs and Dan Larson's lute

2010-06-20 Thread David Tayler
At BFX 2010, I had the opportunity to play Dan Larson's Frey lute. Well, first off, this was a really nice lute, and all gut strung with some really cool strings. This lute also had geared pegs, which look just like real pegs. I mean, they are real pegs, not imaginary pegs, but hopefully you

I don't have geared pegs on my cello, but know a cellist - and a violinist - who does. They like them a lot. My questions would be: 1) How much would each peg for a lute cost? 2) Would they need to be fitted by a luthier, or could the player do it him/herself? 3) Assuming a peg with gears

The ones Dan had were small and light. He was saying 25-35 per peg, I think, in what used to be the dollar. The taper would have to be similar, to fit the holes, but since the peg, or let's call it a keg , what the hay, doesn't rotate in the pegbox holes it does not have to be exact. dt At

I saw this lute in Dan Larson's shop yesterday. It is a very, very nice Frei, and yes, the pegs, or kegs, or whatever you want to call them, are very nice, very interesting. They are, as DT says, smooth as butter, and they will never slip, as pegs do. They are plain, but very attractive..

It did not stick on the nut--I think he used a real nut, like a Brazil nut. d At 06:23 PM 6/20/2010, you wrote: It can be on many lutes, but not on this particular nut. ed At 08:16 PM 6/20/2010, Miles Dempster wrote: But isn't there still the problem of the strings sticking on the nut?

Actually, this instrument is in all gut, including the treble, and the strings do not stick on the nut. I think he takes care in the polishing of it. At 11:09 PM 6/20/2010, Christopher Stetson wrote: Hmmm... nice and oily, and the strings would cut their own grooves... C. David
