Dear Lutenetters, here is something to fresh up your German. However, don't worry, music is an universal language. You can listen to the music played by Sibelius Virtual Orchestra - the music notation software Sibelius - and follow the score on the screen. The libretto by Grabbe is a very early

Dear lute friends, It's winter time, so e.g. in Central Europe here it can be quite dry outside. As a result of a train trip on one of those dry days the table of my baroque mandolin loosened from the body although I avoided to put my instrument next to heatings and put some water inside the

Dear Susanne, Sorry to hear you've been having these problems. Others will doubtless have useful suggestions, but one thing I would suggest is that whenever you move from one environment to another (from dry to wet, or hot to cold), leave the instrument in the case for as long as possible.

I am trying the D'Addario Two-Way Humidification System on my various instruments this winter. Since this is my first time using them, it is too early for me to say how well they work. I bought mine at the local Guitar Center, which probably doesn't exist where you live. You can order them at
