Thanks David, I will certainly try that, and I think many people will
benefit from your thoughts on this issue.

One very good excercise to break in a lute is to hold the lute in
your lap with the soundboard facing the ceiling (if you have one).
I'm not so sure about the idea of beating a lute into
submission...maybe we should concentrate more on breaking in the lute
player? Each new instrument can teach us a lot, if we have ears to
learn. I have to subtly change my RH technique with every instrument I
play. Each instrument
I agree 100% Rob ;-)

Dear all,
Does anyone know where I can find the tablature for baroque lute of the BWV
1001 (I'm looking for the Siciliana)
Thanks ;-)

I enjoyed your funny story, in chalk-scraping-on-the-
blackboard sort of way, and can empathize with your feelings about
handing your lutes 'n guitars over to other players. I have had a
problem with handing my gut strung lute over to one or two synthetics
users who tended to
Dear Rob, Martin, Val and all
Only a second thought about second hand lutes: Of course I see
what you mean about avoiding them, in that if breaking-in is
frequency and pattern dependent, then each player would break-in a
lute differently (and be broken-in by the lute differently).
Just another afterthought - as a lutemaker I get a bit worried by this
word breaking being bandied about so much! Michael Lowe reckons he
spent the first 30 years of his career making lutes, the second 30
mending them...

When I get a chance, I'll post some high speed video of the
differences in the string vibration after breaking in an instrument
using my system.
I have had good success on all the instruments I have tried it on,
maybe thirty instruments.
Of course whether it sounds better is very subjective,
Well, personally, I think that would be very interesting. The
phenomena seems to be acknowledged but not very well understood, so
any experiments should useful.
I read, I think on a viloin site, but perhaps not, that someone
recorded their instrument over the break-in period, and you can
Dear Martin
Your remark left me wondering whether you do not believe that a
process of change can take place which makes the lute better respond,
resonating more freely (as David Tayler has explained), or whether it
is just the expression, breaking-in (which is of course an
