Dear Chris,
can it be, that the historical original to your old theorbo survived, because
it was so big? A luthier just told me some days ago, that we may just know the
more or less extravagant instruments of the old days, the representative ones
with ivory or impressing ornaments etc. The
Dear Gabor,
dar all,
thank you very much for many most interesting answers!
Let me just ask two more question:
1. Does somebody happen to be aware of a recording of an instrument, such as
Gabors (bigger theorbo with double choruses)?
2. Do you think, Kapsberger, Piccinini or Castaldi used
Dear all,
Would anyone have a reperoire hint for me concerning 2 lutes in G and a soprano
lute?
(playing together, not separate ;-)
The rehearsal is tonight :-)
thanks and best wishes

Anything three-part, like Odhecaton, Willaert et al. fantasias for
three voices. Or the wealth of 16th century four-part music with one
lute playing two parts (if score is available) or play it with three
voices only (if parts is all you have).
Enjoy, it'll be fun!

Dear All,
Very interesting thread. I have a very accurate reproduction of the
huge d-minor Schelle German theorbo from Nuernberg, and this
instrument has doubled courses on the petit jeu. I did briefly have
it set up some years ago in this way and it sounded like a lovely and

hi,
is the tuning for the Sopran lute in c or d?
I mean the open highest string of the sopran lute?
Thanks

Hi Graham
İ wrote them in April, and this is what they responded:
Dear Sir,
we are still waiting for the last pieces from Paul O'Dette; then we
will be able to publish the volume.
I don't know how will do it cost, but I am sure that it will not cost
over 35-40 euros.
Best regards,
There was a mistake in my prior post:
In PL-Wn396, fol 44v, there are three different ornaments, viz. comma,
cross and half-moon below. The cross once appears with an unstopped
course.
So, if the comma means an appogiatura from above, the _CROSS_ (!!!)
necessarily means a trill starting from
Hi,
if you want some Trios g, g and c lute, let me know.
I can offer 4 nice pieces.
2 single line and 2 polyphonic trios in french lute tabulature.

Jorg,
I don't know whether my big theorbo was based on a historical model or not.
It was my first theorbo and I was just thrilled to have one. I finally
decided to get rid of it and buy a smaller one when I had a bad experience in a
performance. I made a page turn but the instrument was
Short answer, Anton: There are plenty of duos for 4th apart. and there
are plenty of duos for 5th apart. There has been little to no
information about how to pitch the smaller instrument --or even the
larger. Specify which and your playing audience will find the
instruments. I find 4th

I agree with you, but

Sean and all,
We use the vihuelas by 2 means... my new group,
the Chambure Vihuela Quartet uses all 4 instruments together. See:
http://www.chamburequartet.com/ This is for all 4 vihuelas.
The 4 chambure vihuelas were built in 2004, for the Valderrabano duets. See:
Hi All,
The Tieffenbrucker (WE = Wendelin Eberle?) lute which everyone makes a
version of is actually 44cm. I agree with Sean, it is possible to tune
it to d'' at modern pitch with nylon strings, but it is the equivalent
of tuning your 59cm G lute up to a', so not recommended. Last year I
I agree Martin. As you can see by my previous
post, our soprano is 45 cm, and voiced at c,
using a 0.42 treble. It works, well, lasts a
long time, because we are not pushing the upper
limits of gut with pitch - length issues.

That's very interesting, Martin.
What is the reckoning behind the bass lute in C? How long is that?! It
probably sounds very impressive but I think the trios can sound pretty
strong in most ranges. I'll agree, the small lute in d is pretty
shrill but in a dance situation it would cut

Yes, I think so. But I do not think of this piece (or of any French baroque
