Stuart, I was thinking about your comments today as I worked on a Dowland piece that has passages in the i,k,l fret area. On my lute these frets don't have the resonance that the lower frets do, either. What I do find, though, is that I get a better sound from the body frets when I play them

Dear All, Can't think why I haven't said this before, but I hope some of you find it useful: The higher the fret, the further from the bridge (in terms of proportion) you are plucking the string, so think about playing a little closer to the bridge when you play those notes on higher frets.

Dear All, Sorry - another thought, perhaps less helpful than the first. The last several of Dowland's frets were made from first-course material (.40-.45mm gut?), so if he had had body frets (and it seems he didn't) they couldn't have been exactly tree-trunk sized. Best, Martin On

Martin- If Dowland didn't have body frets on his instruments, does that mean he had upward of 10 or 11 frets on the neck - even 12? Does this mean very long necks? And would that mean a small body, or a larger body and perhaps a long string length? How long a string length would be

Dear Ed, We have to be careful not to regard Dowland's lute as being one instrument. Nearly all of what we regard as his solo lute music was almost certainly written before 1600, about half of it for 6 courses (and eight tied frets). His remarks in Varietie of Lute Lessons were published

Where did they break? Over the nut? In the middle somewhere? The bridge? That might help identify the problem. Guy -Original Message- From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] On Behalf Of Lucas Harris Sent: Friday, December 17, 2010 7:19 PM To:
