Hi,
I'm curious about that french lutenist from the XVII, Mercure.
There is a beutiful sarabande in the MS Milleran, without name, and the
same is included in the Balcarres MS.
I know, the french CNRS published his work, but I don't have the book.
Thank you for your help,
saludos from
Dear Anthony and All,
Just to fill in the missing details:
The first lute (currently tuned in e', though it has been in f') is my
no.2, made in 1982. It has a 13-rib yew back and a longish, almost
Maler shape - not based on any particular model. The rose is quite
small, which we would

to make, by the way, just nine days).
Nine days?!

I was amazed myself, which is why I remember that it was nine days. It
took another couple of weeks to varnish it. I can't make lutes that
quickly any more, alas.

Dear Nigel,
Pretend you're playing a lute in G, and it will come out at the right pitch.

Dear Martin
Thank you for the additional details. It is a very interesting

ones that have survived are now copied, it seems we are unnecessarily
Some fretted-instrument players produce vibrato by wobbling
the finger along the string (ie, towards the nut, towards
the bridge, and then back toward the nut).
Do lutes vary in their responsiveness to this? In other words,
given the same finger movement, might one lute produce a strong vibrato

There are at least two Mercures, one,
If you think of the vibrato as a trill, these ornaments sound and
play not only very differently on different lutes, but also vary with
the strings and tensions used.
My very thin top lutes generally play the trill and vibrato better,
but I'm sure the answer has to do with bridge mass and a
