The way it's described here, it sounds like a vast conspiracy to
discredit instrumental medieval music. If so, let's be thankful it was
one perpetrated by tweedy music critics for a very serious magazine
with a limited readership, which I suppose is why Sequentia, the Boston

With a tuner, correct the frets string by string. Mark the (in tune)
fret spacing of each string on a piece of paper. Then compare the fret
spacings of all strings and make a compromise that will make the first
five frets more or less in tune for all strings.

Yes, John, alternative points of view are a good thing. And medieval
music has not been completely ruined by critics with an agenda. But
lutenists, especially in the US, aren't plugged into the ultra-snarky
world of choral music, where everyone has an opinion and will lavish it
Yes- 3.5 mm fistmele for the average cricket longbow sounds about right. But
cricket lutes are gonna be tight, whether they even played lutes is still
controversial. Entymusicologists have been wrestling with this question for
decades. John Milton Ward and Howard Meyer Brown actually came to

IMHO I think it is important to keep in mind that one critic's
viewpoint
is just that: one person's OPINION. Yes, maybe they are right, but
sometimes there is no black and white viewpoint. One person's trash
is another person's treasure, so to speak. I think we should feel
What can the collective wisdom share about a style of composition
called down(e) or dump? I have four of these: two from Holmes (ff. 12, 94)
and two from Marsh (ff. 124, 426). Questions: Are they basically divisions

Hi there - as a choral singer, director and journalist as well as lute
