There are some performers in command of their music! Very nice. The
only thing I didn't like was the pixelation of the strings on my video
screen.

I always wanted a really big archlute, after seeing some ofthe ones
presumably used in Rome. So I finally worked on a prototype with
Andreas von Holst.

I do not know if people are aware of my parts for modern lute duets on
IMSLP. They were originally composed for two recorders but they
make quite good lute duets. The typesetting is done with Sibelius and I

And a good concept. Exact historical examples available, or just the
general idea? I'm thinking of a new theorbo/archlute/continuo giraffe
along similar specs: theorbo power combined with archlute reach. Let
us know how it performs in real life.
There is an important article written by Linda Sayce and Ivo Magherini:

Thank you. Whilst not denying that large archlutes existed (played at
the appropriate pitch), how do we know that these instruments were not
small theorbos with just the first course an octave down?

Hello to everybody!
This day I had some interest in difficult music for renaissance lute
and had dicovered some intabulations by Bakfark.
And almost went crazy. Most of them seems for me as bloody hell and
almost impossible to play in tempo.
I mean this for example:

Hello to everybody!
I love Bakfark's music, but it gets way too little play by professionals,
and I can't really make any of it sound convincing myself. While I can't
provide technical advice here, I may be able to point you to some
inspiration. Heringman did an excellent CD entitled The Black Cow, half of

I would of course be interested in trying another half-circle larger
size lute to see what it sounds like, trying out such instruments is of
course a great thrill and gives you insights.
But they just are not practical for me to play. I would never consider
I think it is quite possible that they tuned the first course or courses down.
If I were writing the article, I would have, when examining the
instruments, examined the bridge and measured the bridge holes as my
first task, and if the info is in there I would be interested to see it.

As Jacob H's name was brought up I'd recommend the Josquin CD instead

similar material. For example, Simon Gintzler's and Albert deRippe's

Don't you love those? If Pyramid starts selling pre-aged strings they could
recapture the HIP market.

Indeed--I have seen them in field, my idea was to build it from the
