Thanks kindly, everyone! It's what I suspected, but the comparative rarity of an "ordinary" lute in reentrant tuning sent my looking for some verification. Cheers, tom > Date: Wed, 21 May 2014 20:17:25 +0200 > To: mar...@luteshop.co.uk; lute@cs.dartmouth.edu > From: jmpoiri

Hi Thomas, Besard's "nova testudo" is a 10 course lute in G with the 2 top strings down an octave, like a theorbo, only a theorbo woudl rather be in A and would have more courses (14 most of the time). So, yes it's a lute, in G, with a re-entrant tuning... Best, Jean-Marie -- >

I think Besard explains the Nova Testudo in his preface - can someone help with the text? As I remember it is top two courses down an octave, like the theorbo. M On 21/05/2014 18:10, Thomas Walker wrote: Hello all-- Do any of you have a view(s) on what instrument Besard wanted for his

Hello all-- Do any of you have a view(s) on what instrument Besard wanted for his Nova Testudo? The other lutes seem pretty clearly to be 9 or 10 course instruments a 4th apart. The top lute, to me, looks like he's assuming reentrant tuning. I'm tempted to think of Castaldi's tior

Dear Monica, Perhaps is of some help to know also that Kapsperger was not in Venice before his period in Rome, but in Naples. He was already married there with Girolama de Rossi in 1604, when their daughter Dorothea was born. The date 1579 is more appropriated for his birth year, because in thi

Hi Monica, His tombstone in S. Biagio, Montecitorio in Roma, bears the inscription : "Johannes Hieronymus Kapsberger Germanus etatis sue annorum septuagesimo primo" and is dated 17 January 1651... which does indeed give 1580 as his birth year ;-) ! All the best, Jean-Marie --
