Dear infallible Collective Wisdom ;-),
Would anyone be aware of Prelude(s) by Vieux Gaultier (Ennemond). My CNRS old
edition doesn't have any... If you know of the existence of such pieces, could
you cite the sources where they may be found, please?
Thank you in advance for your unremitting
It depends on the player, the technique and the size of the hands, the
width of the fingers, etc., but in the critical spacing of the first
three courses I would not go below 5mm center to enter between pairs
and below 11.5 between the chanterelle and the next string over, if the
Ninety percent of lutes have the wrong spacing, so it is worth getting it
right when it is built. dt
I am currently having an 8-course instrument built. Do you think it would
help to send the builder a tracing of my hands, or would I have to go visit
him in person, which is not very

The lute version. Starts off uncannily like Fur Elise.

Dear list,
five years ago at the Neuburg (Bavaria) Summer Academy I happened
to try an 8 course lute built for a friend of mine by Martin Shepherd:
the strings spacing fitted so perfectly that later on I e-mailed Martin
to have his strings spacing. I still use it on all my
String spacing is indeed most important. But I rarely (never?) see mentioned
thickness of the neck. For a couple of years I played an 8 course lute with a
rather thin neck, which I assumed to be normal. Then I got an 8 course with a
thicker neck and found (I do have large hands) that barred
By thickness, do you mean the width of the neck?

My medium hands love my fat necks.
I have an E lute made from an old vandervogel guitar and Mel was constrained by
the join to keep the neck join pretty thick. He offered to take it down later
if it got to be a bear but I like it. Probably not optimal for most but it
works just fine for me.
That's true, and I would add the most of the bar chord difficulty
comes from the placement of the second course, it has to be under the
knuckle, not the finger, or it won't work. So the spacing at the nut
should factor in the bar chord as well.
