There is, of course, another explanation of the discrepencies between the lute Falkenhagen is depicted as playing and what we normally consider what a 'baroque' lute of the period is (other than lack of precision on the part of the engraver - not unkown): that F posed for his own

Also Mr. Falkenhagen seems to have had a very big head in proportion to the rest of his body. If the artist/engraver didn't care about this would he be engraving the lute exactly as it was I wonder. Cheers, LexOp 15 jul 2009, om 03:29 heeft Roman Turovsky het volgende geschreven: And

I realise his name has come up before, and quite some discussion it has brought!, but I'm now reading a collection of his essays (Text Act, OUP 1995) on what makes the early music movement a modern movement, and how its authenticity ideals have everything to do with 20th century aestetics and

Although not quite my thing, I think ukulele is a fine modern surrogate for 4-course guitar. All I can really add is recommendation for a few solo recordings. Several 4-course guitar pieces on: -Marincola, Federico. 1994. Guillaume Morlaye (1510?-1558?): Pieces pour Luth/Pieces pour Guitare.

Hi, all, Agreed on all counts, and if you get one of the larger sizes, concert or tenor, you get a longer string length, 15 and 17 respectively. A baritone might come the closest to a Ren. guitar with a 19 string length, and though a bit more expensive, certainly not as much

Try also the double strung ukeleles. On a personal note, if I were a female string player, I would find some of the language sexist. I remember asking a female lute player why she never went to workshops. Wow, did I get an earfull. dt At 02:53 PM 7/15/2009, you wrote: Hi, all,

There is little difference between renaissance viol and baroque viol as they are now made. If the ren viol has a sound post (and bass bar, but that's harder to see) then it's not historical. On the other hand, I know of very few viol players who will attempt public performance without them. That
