Well, not quite, just one more thought and then I will leave you to
your world peace (actually I am game for Gut basses vs wirewounds,
even if it is a thoroughly worn out topic, but leave that for another
day). I was just thinking that your hypothesis (if you will allow me
to call it that)
Dear Ed,
Thanks for bringing this up - it's a really interesting point. If I
remember correctly there is at least one song in the first book where
the bass goes right down to D. But I can think of a couple of points
which may help to solve the puzzle:
The lute in the song books is (apart

thank you for this striking example. From now on I will try to put my

Dear Sean, Mark and All
I just fully realized what your explanation could imply. If you tune
down the the 5thc
on a 5c lute, then you could permanently hold the 5c as if the thumb
was a miniature capo.
If I understand you correctly, then the string tension could be less

I am just thinking that the idea of the thumb-damping could perhaps
be more relevant to metal
wound strings. I think many lute players, even today, damp their
metal wound strings
Dear all
By the way, the whole problem of basses ringing too long was
something that
even was a subject for 17th century lutenists with gut strings. The
12 course
lute with an extension was only shortly popular in France and then
went out of
fashion because the basses sounded too
I'd like to take a step back from my theorising for a moment and ask
medieval players what they think of playing a plectrum lute tuned for a
mix of 5ths and 4ths. I recently changed my 6-c A-lute to a plectrum
set-up (closer unisons, single bases) but am frustratingly unable to
play and
Yes I did understand that the damping could be used to prevent
sympathetic resonances (but I though this would be more appropriate
to your electric guitar example with pick-up).
At first thought, I am surprised this could be as big a problem with
unwound gut strings as with wire-wound. I did
Hi,
To put it clear, I am not talking about sympathetic resonances.
That is a problem on electric guitars, at high volume.
But you also see acoustic guitarists dampening when using a plectrum.
I also do not have a 6course lute so I can't test any of this.
But what is MAYBE the case, is that

Never having played wih a plectrum or used strumming techniques
I did not think about the 'wild strumming' hitting wide of the target
as it were,
and this being equally true of strumming with fingers.
