Thank you Andreas, Bernd and Peter for your answers. I will be looking forward to F.-P. Goy's book on Gaultier's works... So far it seems to confirm my impression that there is no extant prelude by Vieux Gaultier, which seems incredible but... Probably some of his preludes are hidden among

Thank you Arto for this indication. I was aware of the existence of this prelude in A major (very nice by the way) used by Hopkinson Smith in one of his recordings, but Gaultier de P[aris] is supposed to be Ennemond's cousin, Denis, the younger Gaultier... Anyway, it is fine music and it seems

From what I remember about surviving museum specimens, ultra-thin necks didn't arrive until quite late. There's a Hoffmann 13c lute with a neck only 3/8 thick where it meets the pegbox, though, of course, there's quite a camber on the fingerboard that makes up for it, to some

No - width of the neck will be determined by the string spacing. By thickness, I mean the distance from the surface of the fingerboard to the back of the neck. Ned On Nov 14, 2012, at 6:26 PM, Gregory Brown wrote: By thickness, do you mean the width of the neck? -Original Message-

Nah. We wrapped it up; nothing else to see here. Haven't heard much from Martin Shepherd lately, no doubt living the good life bon vivant in his new Burgundian digs. I was waiting for him to jump in. But I am interested if any other Baroque lute players fill in some of the chords and

Hello David I loved your Resurrection and certainly do not mean this question as a critique - but - Do you have a philosophy for when to roll a chord? I hear a great many wonderful players and each seems to have a different idea about this. Thanks, Joseph Mayes On 11/13/12 3:33 PM,

Beautiful playing. I wouldn't have known this was a modern reconstruction. But I don't know the music well and I haven't listened to Dowland in a long time and I don't try and play the music. But I'm very, very surprised (and intrigued and amused) that it needs reconstruction, DIY

In English lute music the 2 common places where I think many players would have added their own contributions are ornaments - there are lots of examples of the same music with, and without ornaments. There are also many, many pieces that have the usual 3 sections and no divisions
