[LUTE] Re: Harp alterations was Re: Mrs White's nothing

Some harps are made with the possibility of playing alterations by puting the finger on the "console" of the harp and reducing the length of the string to play sharp notes. So even on diatonic harps alterations are possible. Look this bray harp player

[LUTE] Re: Mrs White's nothing

Interesting- to (some) modern players- both HIP and non-HIP; by the way- that "well played" has to automatically be synonymous with "fast enough". - And Ralf, thanks for the info concerning falsas, ficta, and the hexachords. I never heard that Mudarra was mocking Ludovico, rather instead that

[LUTE] And Now for Something Completely Different

something slightly off topic... Perhaps English lute netters can help. I have recently read a few novels by Collins: The Moonstone The woman in White Armadale Can anybody recommend other novels by Collins? Best wishes, Rainer PS there is a complete (shudder)
