Another beautiful Allemande by Robert de Visee. Did he ever write a bad
piece? I don't think so.

Thank You! It sounds as in my imagination a lute should sound, dark
like from a time far away.
It reminds me of Jakob Lindberg's restored original lute. I have a 13
course after Hoffmann (which one I don't know right now)
by Nico van der Waals from around 1980. The sound is silbrig and the
Andreas,
I am pleased you like the sound. I really like the 'roundness' or 'camber' of
the fretboard. It makes a big difference for the left hand. One of the best
things about this lute is the shape and thickness of the neck. The back of the
neck is flat at the first fret position, and curved

I'm not 100 per cent sure, as Malcolm's computer died just as he was about to
send me the string list. But all the trebles and bass octaves are gut. I am a

I will doubtless experiment with strings over the coming year. I love
the creaky-ness of the gut strings, but I am having intonation problems
which can be really annoying. Damian Dlugolecki sent me some gut
basses to try out, and I am interested in Dan's gimped strings too.
But it

Well, we have the option that Weiss et al never had. Pluses and minuses on both
sides. In the classical guitar world, when Segovia changed from gut to nylon,
most people went with him, but not everyone, i.e. Pujol and his school. The
arguments will remain until people no longer make gut
I always wondered if Prelude pour la Luth o Cembal could simply mean
that he composed a Prelude for the lute, instead of a pars pro toto
meaning. Later he added two other movements for his (lute-)harpsichord.
The first movement is clearly the best working piece.
Concerning BWV 995, there

Great playing. Very beautiful and sensitive.

Well I just noticed (after the fact) that right there in your initial post you
designate the strings. Kind what I thought I heard, including the nylgut
treble. Just these past two weeks I have strung my own Baroque lute (Old Robert

Does anyone out there have any old first generation Mimmo Peruffo loaded gut

passes for my string repository and find them to be superb for the Baroque lute
bass fundamentals- but I have a few gaps to fill. Would be

I have a little problem, my lute maker who always helps me with my strings is

My lute is tuned in 415, and I need to go to 440, and I am really bad in

someone who is able to do that without too much effort? I would be really

Unfortunately, nlygut isn't made in all sizes.
For the .51 listed below use .52
For .77 use .79
for the .98 type D use 100
For .69 nylgut 6th course octave use .70
I, personally would use a 132 type D for the 6th course fundamental, but
128 is available.

At 63 cm. with those string sizes I'd say you are already a bit on the high
side, tension wise. I would never take 63 cm. up to 440 with those strings
without clearing the safety issue with the builder. You don't want the bridge
going on vacation while your builder is on vacation. I like Dan
I find that nylgut stretches and thins out, so it helps to go with a
little bit bigger string than the equivalent gut string to get a similar
tension. I'm not sure about the new nylgut, though. It's supposed to
stretch less.
