Thanks Ed and David (and other comments too). Refining my comments a little,
I would say that for the solo work I would be happy with a lower pitch, so
tuning to F would be no big deal. I was worried about asking a soprano or
tenor to sing a tone lower, especially those who have already learned

The big problem is having a capo which provides enough pressure to
hold
all the strings down without buzzing.
Or conversely, too much pressure. You need a capo that you can adjust
the pressure of. The Dunlop takes a lot of work to adjust,
particularly when you think that every fret is

seem to have come through.
A couple of folks have written to me off-list suggesting an 8c. Sorry, not
interested. Just don't like them. Neither one thing or another. I'll go
either 7 or 10. Probably 7.
Thanks for the suggestions, nonetheless!

Why do you need to be at A=440? Many singers would be grateful, if they

Oups, sorry Benjamin, I am afraid I got part of that wrong. I think
this confusion came from what Martin Haycock said to me about using
such a lute as a G lute at 440Hz. He was obviously talking in general.
You may also have called it a G lute, but G at 392 presumably.

Rob was wanting to find a compromise that would allow him to play 6c
italian Renaissance music as well as late Dowland. A 7c can manage
that repertoire, but I think the extra course of an 8c would give too
confused a sound for 6c music.

Hi, all,
If it is the books of songs that you're looking for, Dover Publications has (or
had) an inexpensive modern edition; complete, 2 books to the volume. They
include original ( i.e., modern typeset) tab, staff notation for capoed
guitar with F# 3rd, and voice. Very nice, as these things
44.1 and 48 are not twice the frequency of human hearing, that
distinction is reserved for 88.2 and 96.
The Fostex is one of the best flash recorders, it had better preamps
and converters than the competition, its only drawback is that
headphone amp is a little cheap, but that in no way
Actually, the standard accepted values for the human hearing range are
approximately 20Hz to 20KHz. The upper limit declines with age...

I don't recommend 8 courses
9 courses would be a good choice for Dowland
7 and 9 would cover almost all of the pieces you mention, and is
better for the very early Dowland pieces, plus the chromatic pieces.
Isn't there a Star Trek character named 7 of 9? Surely it is a sign.

That is correct, so 44.1 is not twice the standard, it corresponds
roughly to the standard. 88.2 is twice the standard.
