I have an 8 course Renaissance lute which I recently used
to play and record a piece a whole step higher. Instead of arduously

Van Eps effectively transferred his style to electric but he invented a
damper attached to the peghead and that barely touched the strings
just beyond the business end of the nut. This device cancelled out
those nasty open-string overtones on electrified guitars.
He played
Eighteenth century 'English' guittars had this sort of thing as did, I
believe, some similar French instruments from this period. Wire strung

As far Ias I know the only document is by Theorist Gio. Battista Doni in his
Annotazioni sopra il compendio de' generi de' Modi della Musica,( Roma 1640)

There is a passage in Bermudo which seems to refer to the use of some sort
of device to raise the strings of the vihuela a semitone or a tone. It is
in Book 2, Chapter 36 f.30. It is referred to as a panezuelo which
literally seems to mean a handkerchief but there is some doubt as to

I also remember the English (tenative?) translation of the Bermudo
panezuelo- seems like it would have to be some sort of
movable/removable nut, stopping the strings from below as opposed to our
modern capos; which presumably would not have worked too well without
discovered what other people thought of his suggestion.

Interesting; but wouldn't that throw off the fretting (i.e., the frets
would be placed for the wrong overall length of the string)? It would
sound awful up the neck, unless you began moving all of the frets around .

The same is true of gamba players, who avoid open strings because of
their different tone.

That's the difference between a bowed string and a plucked string. We
do everything we can to sustain our plucked notes!

Well, that was partly my question:
Another good point- the only lute for which I built my own capo (pain in
