[LUTE] Re: Bach's bass lines
A 78cm 10c bass lute in D (presumably Renaissance tuning?) - wow - that sounds like fun. Wish I had one. Wish I had a gallichon in A, 95cms. Wish I had an archlute. I do have an 11c - not designed for powerful continuo playing - a baroque guitar - not suitable for Bach's bass lines - and a theorbo arriving soon. I'll just have to fumble my way through somehow, playing what I can. Martyn has very kindly offered to loan me his mega-large gallichon in A, which intend to take him up on. It will probably lead to more debt, in that I will doubtless want to buy one. It never ends... Rob Rob, before you acquire every type of bass lute thingy that ever existed on a quest to play a Bachian bass line: what about sustained notes? Imagine the supercilious glance of the cellist as she slowly bows long, long notes. Perhaps she gets a bit louder or quieter, perhaps a hint of vibrato: all when playing/bowing one note. And then she looks at you and says' OK big boy plucker, how long can you make yours last?' Of course you might not be playing with a cellist and if you are, it might be a bloke. And maybe there are no long notes to sustain. Stuart -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Re: Straps
Dear Tuomas, I just got three straps (french: bandoulières) for theorbo, archlute and guitar by José Antonio Ahumada, Paris, France, total 115 plus shipping. They are really wonderful and not at all slippery. I know that many french lutenists use his straps.

[LUTE-BUILDER] Re: a pedestrian question of course widths
All plucked string instruments share two design challenges - players hands vary in size, and players expectation varies according to what other instruments are played. When you are the player you can interact with the builder and come up with a solution that suits both of you. A builder making instruments on speculation has to make a decision to build for large, small, or medium hands, looking at a variety of instruments to see what works. Strings move when they sound, this requires some room, lacking that room makes for (usually) unwanted buzzing noises. Bass strings are at lower tension than trebles and need more room. Strings unlikely to be sounded together can be closer together, but not too much so because damping is uncommon and successive play is not uncommon. The rest is best left as an excercise for the reader :-) -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Josephsons are very good, and I've also had excellent results with the small, clip-on mics you can find at Radio Shack and places like that.
