[LUTE] Re: Lute: Air Travel Advice

It also depends on the airline. I had people at United telling me that if you gate check an instrument on the first leg of a flight then it goes baggage (just like a suitcase) to the second leg of the flight. Boarding early is great because the overheads are still empty. It's not gre

[LUTE] Re: Lute: Air Travel Advice

I just brought a Flamenco Guitar back from Granada Spain and had 3 different flights. Each flight was very accommodating and found space on the plane for the guitar. It helps to board as early as possible (Elite membership is a big plus with the airline). I do not know if I just got lucky or not.

[LUTE] Lute: Air Travel Advice

I am about to move to China for 18 months for business. This is entirely too much time to be without my Renaissance lute. After calling both airlines and both airports that I will use to leave the country, the procedure for taking a "guitar" seems to be: they might let you take it a

It was my pleasure and distinct honor to serve as John's editor during the publication of his "Dowland Miscellany" in the JLSA. When the "article" was first submitted, it presented a number of layout challenges I wasn't sure we would be able to overcome. For one thing, it contained a number

Dear Arthur: Thanks for your positive reinforcement. Since first encountering his work, I have had tremendous respect for John Ward, and I'm certain that his high standard of scholarship still lives with his students and colleagues. For instance, your work in producing such insight

Dear Ron, Those are very nice comments about John on your web site. I do not understand why an official announcement on John's passing did not appear more promptly. I also heard many weeks ago, but felt somone else should be responsible for an announcment. So far there has still been no menti

[LUTE] Re: Tempered fretting - take your pick - OOPS!

Oh yes, I see what you mean. There is a tastini, though I think on that same instrument, unless I am seeing double. LvS's explanations do account for the tuning differences, but no wonder equal temperament has become fairly standard. Anthony _

[LUTE] Re: Tempered fretting - take your pick - OOPS!

Nothing as sophisticated as tastini - just matchsticks wedged under the frets (at the bass side of the neck) to tighten them. Don't we all do it? Bill From: Anthony Hind To: William Samson Cc: "lute@cs.dartmouth.edu" Sent: Sunday, 22 January 2012, 18:05 Subject: Re :

[LUTE] Purcell question

Ok, lute list - in your opinion(s), can a solo lute player or theorbist actually do a convincing version of Purcell's "If Music be the Food of Love" - the one with the florid bass line - or do you really need a gamba player to do it justice? Cheers to all - Ben S To get on or off this lis

Dear Ed and Lex, The Rhétorique has a rather complicate story. In short: - The Rhétorique is a manuscript on vellum. There are no printed things in it - the pictures are painted as washed ink drawings (German: lavierte Tuschzeichnung). - There was a concept who included painters, goldsmiths, men

Is there any consensus as to the instrument for which Cabezon intended his "diferencias", and in particular his "Differencias sobre el canto de la dama le demanda"? These variations are on Arbeau's "Belle qui tiens ma vie". Does anyone have any i

Hi Ed, The Rhétorique des Dieux was a manuscript, made in honour of Denis Gaultier. Hence the fancy cover. At the beginning of every series of pieces in a certain mode there is a picture which is supposedly an image of its mood. 14 pictures were made by Abraham Bosse (one of which after a desig
