I have a 40cm 6c from M.Haycock of his own design from '92. The body is deeper
than the Venere model (half-circle body and neck) and the pegbox is at a
90-degree angle. It's on my pic on the Lute.ning page and I'm quite
Erm, aC2 is supposed to read A = 432.

This isn't the first time I've seen the aC2 argument. But the premise
is faulty. Advocates of the aC2 stuff talk about perceived benefits
that are tied to temperament and not absolute pitch; simply sliding a
whole album 8 cents flat doesn't do anything to address temperament.A
Sure,
I stand corrected.
I have lutes in a', g' and d'. Can almost start my own 'classic
quartet'.

After reading this, I did a few experiments. I tuned my guitar to A432
-- it sounds fine (I mean, you know, for an equal temperament
instrument). I'll probably keep it that way for a while.
Then I ripped some music to my computer and applied a pitch shift to it.
Oddly, while Bob Marley sounds
Well, I do make a lute in D based on the Venere lute (44cm string
length) and my waiting list is short.
But I have to tell you that this string length is almost impossible to
tune to d'' at modern pitch, even in synthetic strings. The obvious
solution is to tune the whole lute quartet to

Actually Adriansen's two quartets are for a _different_ combination:
lutes in a', g, e', and d', not d, a', g', and d'. The earliest modern
performances of these by Anthony Rooley
Not strictly quartets, but potentially so:
The Novus partus , while not nearly so extensive a collection as the
Thesaurus, is of interest on several counts. It is one of the last
books to have been printed from woodblock in Germany; and its 59
compositions (also in French tablature)
Yes, the infamous Bizarre print.

I saw a description of the classic lute quartet
as four lutes in d'', a', g, and d.
I googled, and I searched the archives of this forum,
and I also tried Wikipedia. Very little was forthcoming.
So I have a number of questions. Is there such a thing
as the classic lute quartet? Is there a
Vallet used this combination for a handful of pieces. Adriaensen (1584)
has two pieces for the same combination. Terzi wrote one quartet, but
for two d' and two g' lutes (more like a double duet). That's about it.
