It's an interesting trend and I don't know what to make of it, Dan. A few years ago I went to a concert of a well-known poster on this list and the Francesco pieces were played on an 8-c lute and the Dowland on a single strung archlute. It could easily be argued this was standard practice

It's true, I can't afford to play an actual lute, but I've played oud and Cumbus enough to know I really don't like double stringing. Don't like the way it feels on my right hand fingers and don't like the chorus effect (which interferes with detailed pitch control). I now play lute music on a

Sonically it's pretty trivial - you can't really hear the double stringing unless the strings are out of tune. And must not add any volume or the chanterelle wouldn't be single. single strung instrument, not a trivial difference between HIP lutes and Liuto Forte! Paolo Roman Turovsky

Yeah, I know all about chorus effect - but on an instrument as quiet as a lute, it's a very subtle effect. Not worth the trouble of double stringing IMO. (Of course octave stringing is another matter. That's audible, but mostly, I don't like it.) Sonically it's pretty trivial - you can't

Dear Doctor Oakroot and All: I must say I couldn't disagree more with what Dr. O has said about double stringing. It almost sounds as if he hasn't played the lute much at all. All the theory in the world will fail to convince me that this very subtle effect does not in fact make a huge
