Mace is the only source, though, to relate the flat tuning to these distinct pitches (on the continent, Virginia von Gehema had her lute one tone lower). Must correct myself: Bodleian E 411 has these pitches, two (lute part book, ca. 1660). Mathias To get on or off this list see list

Anyone know of an electronic tuner that calibrates to a=392? My KORG does a=415, but only drops to 410... I have found a couple that allow you to calibrate some flats, which the vendor says would do the same thing, but one that calibrates to 392 would ease my suspicions. Garry

Yes, you could think of your lute as being in F, or you could think of it as being in G at a'=392. Since I have a Korg which allows me to set a'=392, I tend to go for the latter these days. It also allows me to not to have to think too much about whether all the notes are in the correct
