Most impressive. You seem to have page through the whole book. I tried to identify the pieces but gave up :( Shouldn't it be Fantasia 28? At least it is number 28 in Chiesa's edition. By the way, I still believe that Chiesa's edition is excellent. Rainer On 12.01.2019 13:08, Peter Martin

The so called ‘carbon’ strings are made of a material which is denser/heavier than nylon. Hence, for the same tension and pitch, the string will be thinner in gauge and consequently tone. A ‘carbon’ string is likely to be a better choice to use in the place of a string whose tone is too dull

Dear Rainer, I'm not sure that Spanish/Valencinian/Milan tablature is to be seen as a variant of Neapolitan tab only. The Munich Denss source suggests that the writer transformed French to S/V/M tablature, judging by the mistakes and corrections he made. For what it's worth, here is what I

Dear lute netters, I seem to remember that recently somebody posted a list of sources with Spanish/Milan tablature including Neapolitan tablature. In an article by Michael Fink (LSAQ XLIV, No.4, 2009, pp. 29-32) there is a list of such sources: Pesaro, Biblioteca Oliveriana, MS 1144 (c.

Totally fascinating! The pieces are Tento 4 (Sociedad de la Vihuela facsimile page 155) and Fantasia 27 (page 119). Not often played even today. The transcriptions are much more faithful than they appear at first sight, allowing for the expansion of the texture for the piano.
