Sterling, I'm sort of a lurker on this list, I had started building a lute some years ago - after getting interested by making the Music Maker's flat back to see if I could handle the play. Medical matters have taken me away from the lute, but I retain interest. I still play, and sometimes

Dear Martin, I agree - modern English is not always easy for singers. The main reason so many pop performers adopt US pronunciation is not entirely due to wishing to ape our more 'hip' (as opposed to HIP) American cousins, but because for singing it actually makes things easier. This is not a

Hi Anthony, there is also an H1 with a very attractive price tag. The H2 and H4 are now upgraded to H2n and H4n. All 3 currently available models use the same microphone capsules so should all offer the same sound quality. regards andy Anthony Hart wrote: Dear all, Many thanks for your

hi David, good question! The H2n has a little rotary control for the input/mic level. The H1 has little up/down push buttons do per form a similar function. I'd guess that the rotary control on the H2n is actually connected to a good old potentiometer, so for H2n answer to your question would

I bought an original Edirol R-09 when it first came out (in Japan) and it changed my life. Of course any other similar recorder would have also changed it. When it finally died after many years, I figured the cost of repair would be enough that I might as well buy a new recorder as whole

Dear lutenists, in the ms. Capirola inxed there is a not-so-clear text that the SPES facsimile editor O. Cristoforetti interpretes as Recercar ottavo, lalcier, et un spiciar, lave. What could that explanation lalcier, et un spiciar, lave mean? It doesn't look like modern Italian, nor Latin.

Dear Arto, It's a dedication. I quote from Otto Gombosi's introductory essay on the manuscript, from his 1955 SMA edition of Capirola: 'We can be more definite in determining the identity of 'lalcier,' who, together with an unnamed apothecary, possessed Ricercar VIII: he was Alvise Arcieri,

For 'professional' recording - somebody mentioned 'cd-quality' recording - one needs to be able to set the gain manually. A lute is considered a soft instrument, but I think it's better to see it as an instrument with a very wide dynamic range: infinite nuances from ppp to mf. If your recording

Before I buy any new electronic product I always spend some time scanning the reviews on the Internet, paying special attention to the negative ones to find out what can go wrong. Having done that for the pocket digital recorders now available, I stand by my recommendation for Roland/Edirol.
