Thanks, Monica. I have to say that the bulk of the book is something like a big sloppy Valentine to Christopher Page and Gothic Voices. While I am also a great admirer of Page's work, I am a little incensed that a reviewer admits to deliberately panning commercial recordings with

[LUTE] Action on Baroque Lute?

Hello Everyone! Quick question to all the experts out there (if it's possible for me to ask a quick question, LOL -- sorry! :-) What is the ideal action at the neck/body joint on 13 course baroque lute with a 72 cm vibrating string length supposed to be? I realize that this could be

IMHO on any lute the lowest possible action on which you can play with dynamic range and without buzz is preferable. I have 3,5 mm under my 1st string at body joint (10th fret) on my 67 renaissance and it works well with nylon. 2012/2/5 brentlynk [1]brentl...@bellsouth.net

P.S. It's much appreciated, Roman and Eugene...Indeed, 4 mm was the max that the expert/master luthier told me was acceptable...My 10-course was in for repairs recently (after 15 years of me playing it...) and the action had risen to about 5.5 mm at the 9th fret. The luthier corrected it
