Rest it on the bridge. That works relatively well and, with gut strings, is good for the sound. David -Original Message- From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] On Behalf Of Richard Brook Sent: Monday, March 14, 2016 2:28 PM To: baroque-lute@cs.dartmouth.edu

Hi Dick, I know of no textual source that does not mention resting the pinky on the soundboard. A raised pinky is however quite frequently seen in iconography. Chris [1]Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Monday, March 14, 2016, 5:30 PM, Richard Brook

Mine is too short, so I don't, ever. It is not critical, as long as it is relaxed. Curled pinky is an anatomical hazard. RT On 3/14/2016 5:28 PM, Richard Brook wrote: Any thoughts on whether it’s OK not to rest rt. hand pinky on Baroque lute soundboard. It’s always been a strain for me,

[BAROQUE-LUTE] resting rt hand pinky

Any thoughts on whether it’s OK not to rest rt. hand pinky on Baroque lute soundboard. It’s always been a strain for me, and I don’t think everyone does it. I have a 13 course instrument. Related question. What about putting a little block in front of the pinky side of the bridge to rest

I’ve actually played Stromness on my six course renaissance lute using the transcription for guitar by Timothy Walker (Boosey & Hawkes 1980) and it works well. OK, I cheat and tune the third course up a half tone, but it is a very satisfying arrangement that, as I play it, anyway, comes

Dear Monica, thank you – even if his is sad news! I have thought from time to time of arranging "Farewell to Stromness" (from Davies' "Yellow Cake Revue") for lute, maybe I should realize this now! Joachim -Original-Nachricht- Betreff: [LUTE] Breaking news Datum:

The English composer Peter Maxwell Davies has died. I don't think he wrote any lute music (pity - it would have been interesting if he did) - but he was into early music at least in his youth. R.I.P. Monica -- To get on or off this list see list information at
