[LUTE] New vihuela

Hello, I'm happy to present my new vihuela, made by Didier Jarny... Rosewood and maple back and sides, maple neck and head, snakewood fretboard. Probably not an historical model (but iconographical inspiration), we choose, with Didier the woods and decoration and he did a fantastic job, and the

Thank you David, But the point being made was that it may well not be that '90 percent that are still set up wrong' as you assert but that the player's posture is wrong (eg holding cradled in the lap and/or too close to horizontal) and/or the plucking position is inappropriate. If

[LUTE] Re: Lute size and set-up was Re: What makes a good lute?

And thank you again David, Indeed, as I pointed out earlier it is the precise plucking point which is relevant. In particular if the player is plucking, say, up to the rose then the geometry of the instrument will result in a smaller course seperation than if they were plucking

[LUTE] CD Viability was Miking a lute/theorbo

CDs are dead and 48KHz sounds better. Thanks for these tips on recording! I have been asking colleagues and random friends this question for years: How long do YOU think it will be before CDs go the way of the Cassette? I did a recording with my Celtic band, Way Up North in 1994 - 5. At

CDs are dead and 48KHz sounds better. This presumably means downloading to hard disk? Is it not so that SACD (which was excellent), and DVDA (a little less good) are now more or less dead on disks? Unfortunately, it seems to be MP3, which is winning this war, which seems a

Not sure I understand your question, but not all chords are playable by everyone on all lutes. However, most chords can be played on most lutes. If I had small hands, I could go to a smaller theorbo, or avoid certain chords, but it isn't really an issue for me. OTOH, if I had
