I have worked with many musicians, and I can tell in a few moments if
their instrument will record well or not, and they usually are
interested, but unable to change it.
By the time the recording rolls around, it is too late.
And the sad thing is, that after awhile we imagine the sound to be

Do you change lutes often? You are correct, in that many
professional players do so.
I have hung on to most of my instruments, as there are no perfect

If you read german, you can go to this link:

There is a tuning database (PDFs) for lute, lyra viol, mandore and guitar - and
of course the information about the ffeff-system!
Enjoy it!

Before clicking on any learned replies I will guess it refers to the
tuning intervals of six courses in Viel Ton: 4th, 4th, Major 3rd, 4th
4th. Or it's a lute for playing Ffeff music.

Dear Bruno,
It has to be Robert Staak. He is the only lutenist in Estonia. His group
is called Rondellus, which consists of Robert and his wife Maria, who
sings, together with other musicians they draft in from time to time.
They have made a number of recordings, and are about to produce a new CD

Not related to the lute that's so hard to play and sometimes referred to as

It refers to the tuning. Letters are the frets (a=open, b=1, etc as in

Renaissance lute is ffeff. Guitar is fefff. Lyra-viol
