[LUTE] Concerto Barocco CD on Magnatune

Our latest CD, Concerto Barocco: Baroque Concertos, is out on Magnatune--currently number 1, just edging out the New Age and Ambient. And one can listen to the whole CD for free. Or any of the other CDs. I note that Ed Martin's Duet CD is selling very well, as well. http://magnatune.com/ To

Sombres Forests is in the Verchaly edition, absolutely gorgeous song. Recorded it for my Airs de Cours disc, but it didn't make the cut. The things that wind up in the trash, it is so sad. dt At 06:17 AM 2/6/2010, you wrote: On Sat, Feb 6, 2010 at 1:24 AM, David R d_lu...@comcast.net wrote:

Dear Chris, Not quite the answer you were looking for, but you can still buy the old Heartz edition quite cheaply from Picard in Paris. I wrote to the Lute List about it on 21st October 2003 and 27th March 2006. Below is a copy of my email from 2003. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -o-O-o- Dear

2010-02-07 Thread Nedmast2
Since a lute in a case (even small Renaissance) is too large for carry on, I'm pondering the options should I fly this summer with my instrument. I suspect a custom made shipping case would be rather expensive, and wonder if anyone here has tried any of the available commercial

Ned, I don't know the state of things at the moment, but I'll tell you my experiences. Tell the folks at the counter that you want to check it at the gate (NEVER, EVER, have them put it on the conveyor belt at check in!!!). When you get to the gate, tell 'em you want to ask the flight

I've heard of lutes having their entire shells shattered after being checked...I'd be really, really nervous about checking. Begging to gate-check does seem like a workable idea, though...surely they'd notice your case is too light to be carrying anything dangerous. James On Sun, Feb 7, 2010 at

Thanks, Stewart, Bernd, Karl, et al. Alas, it appears that Picard has them no more, at least not easily accessible via internet. The link takes me directly to Abebooks.com, and though they list several of Daniel Heartz' works (including a biography of Pierre Attaignant), the

The problem is the acceleration/mass when dropped. Therefore you must weigh rigidity (resitance to being crushed) against inertia. Cardboard plus bubble wrap I believe has the best combination. Flight case is good of you think it will go in with heavy cargo, but that is unusual for luggage type

I prefer an extra seat for the baby. But that can be expensive. Friend of mine uses his normal lute case, covered in bubble wrap. The heavy duty variety, two layers. Makes it into a sort of case, with the handle sticking out, and lid with sello tape, so he can re-use it on the way back. Of course

Thanks for all the replies to my question about flying with my lute. You've given my things to consider. Since my instrument in its light weight case would undoubtedly fit in overhead storage, it's tempting to ask to let me take it on board with me when I'm at the gate. But I'm
